PUBG’s 31.2 update is now live on PC, introducing massive changes for a whole host of areas on Taego and improving the HUD for a better experience for viewers tuning into its esports streams. The patch dropped for PC on Sept. 4 and console players must wait over a week (coming Sept. 12) for this patch to go live on their devices.
Here are all the most significant changes in PUBG’s Update 31.2.
PUBG update 31.2 patch notes

Five POIs tweaked in Taego
Taego is the featured PUBG map in this update, and the highlight map will now offer a fresh experience with the Studio area (previously found on the map’s southeastern edge) transformed into an abandoned hospital. The buildings in the area cover considerably less area now, with more open grounds to loot and spot incoming enemies.
Other POIs like Shipyard, Ho San Prison, Ho San, and Song Am also received minor changes to their landscapes. The devs implemented these layout tweaks to offer better accessibility, cover, and repositioning opportunities to players.
Map rotations and no more sunrise in Deston
Maps will rotate every Tuesday at 9pm CT for PC, while the console version will change its map pool every Thursday at 2am CT. Erangel’s the mainstay in the pool across all regions, with several maps like Taego, Sanhok, and Miramar also included (depending on your region).
If you’re interested in the ranked map pool in PUBG’s update 31.2, here’s the list:
- Erangel (25 percent chance)
- Miramar (25 percent chance)
- Taego (20 percent chance)
- Rondo (20 percent chance)
- Deston (10 percent chance)
Deston won’t feature Storm, Sunrise, or Clearing Storm dynamic weather conditions.
Way better Training mode and custom match HUD
The developers have addressed ongoing player feedback and improved various aspects of the Training mode. With the PUBG update 31.2, you get infinite ammo using your reload button. Recommended attachments are also automatically equipped when you get a weapon through the Spawn Tool. The tool also allows you to save and load your favorite gear set, keeping the gear and weapons you’re running in the Training mode.
The observer experience in custom matches has been elevated with many features to view any team’s items, markers, and waypoints on the map. The player HUD, while observing, also displays your kill count and damage along with your rank on the server for the stats in question.
Bug fixes, Mastery Medals, and skins
The developers fixed over 20 issues affecting gameplay, map environments, and user interface. You can also earn nine new Mastery Medals by simply playing. Additionally, new items are available in the workshop for the Hunter and Archivist’s Chests, along with several bugs fixed for the existing character and weapon skins.
