Vikendi is the first six-kilometer map, and the fourth in total, joining Erangel, Miramar, and Sanhok. And unlike its predecessors, Vikendi will keep footprints on the map, allowing players to track others using their past locations.

This news also arrives just in time for PUBG’s launch on PlayStation 4. The game has been unavailable on the popular console, despite its popularity on PC, Xbox One, and mobile.
