PUBG: Update 7 erscheint in der kommenden Nacht

Es war bereits angekündigt, dass das siebte Update für Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds im Laufe dieser Woche veröffentlicht werden soll, sofern im Rahmen der Tests alles glatt verläuft. Auch, wenn die Teilnahme nach der Veröffentlichung des Spiels in der Vollversion drastisch zurückgegangen ist, haben die Entwickler die Tests abgeschlossen und werden Update 7 für PUBG bereits in der kommenden Nacht veröffentlichen.

PC players, there will be a 3 hours maintenance period on our live servers starting at Mar 12 7PM PDT / Mar 13 3AM CET / Mar 13 11AM KST. We will be moving our current test build over to live. You can read the detailed patch notes here: https://t.co/RldMCHRHNY
