PUBG 2025 Roadmap: What's Next for Mobile?

Today, Krafton unveiled an ambitious roadmap for PUBG in 2025, sparking curiosity about what this means for the mobile version. The roadmap, while primarily focused on the main PUBG title, hints at significant developments that could influence PUBG Mobile. A key highlight is the transition to Unreal Engine 5, along with a move to current-gen consoles and more high-profile collaborations.

One particular aspect that caught our attention is the mention of a "unified experience" across modes in PUBG. This could potentially extend to PUBG Mobile, suggesting a future where the experiences across platforms become more seamless. While currently aimed at unifying modes within PUBG, it's not far-fetched to envision this leading to broader integration, possibly including crossplay-compatible modes between the main game and its mobile counterpart.

Enter the battlegroundsThe roadmap also emphasizes a stronger focus on user-generated content (UGC), mirroring the success seen with PUBG Mobile's World of Wonder mode. Krafton plans to launch a UGC project that enables content sharing among players, drawing parallels with competitors like Fortnite. This move could herald a fusion of the PC and mobile versions of PUBG, although currently, it remains speculative.

The potential integration of the two versions of PUBG seems plausible, but for now, it's all about reading between the lines. The roadmap undoubtedly signals a major push for PUBG, and it's likely that PUBG Mobile will see similar developments in 2025.

However, a significant challenge lies ahead with the adoption of Unreal Engine 5. If PUBG transitions to this new engine, PUBG Mobile would likely need to follow, which could be a complex process.
