PUBG Update 36.1 lands June 19 with ranked reset, vehicle tweaks, and more
Krafton has announced PUBG: Battlegrounds Update 36.1, going live on PC on June 19 and on consoles from June 27. The update introduces Ranked Season 26, with a full tier reset and new rewards such as animated nameplates for Gold tier and above.


The K2 assault rifle joins the ranked weapon pool, offering a new option for players looking for versatility and low recoil. Vehicle adjustments are another highlight. The Pony Coupe has been removed from Miramar, while UAZs are now spawning in Taego and Deston. Boats and Aqua Rails have been made less durable, shifting tactics on water-heavy maps.


Several quality-of-life improvements are included. These range from smoother inventory controls to a more intuitive friend invite interface. Key bug fixes address issues like grenade audio and parachute problems.


Rather than a dramatic overhaul, Update 36.1 focuses on balancing gameplay and refining the experience. The patch maintains PUBG’s momentum by keeping both competitive and casual players engaged with small but meaningful changes.
