PUBG 2025 Roadmap: What's Next for Mobile?

Today, Krafton unveiled an exciting roadmap for PUBG's future in 2025, hinting at significant developments that could impact the mobile version. The roadmap focuses primarily on PUBG itself but includes updates that have also trickled down to mobile, such as the new map, Rondo. What caught our attention, however, was the mention of a "unified experience" across modes.

This "unified experience" currently refers to PUBG's various modes, but it's not a stretch to envision a broader unification that might include the mobile version. Could this mean crossplay-compatible modes or even a full merger of the two versions? It's speculative at this point, but the possibility is intriguing.

Enter the battlegroundsAnother highlight from the roadmap is the increased emphasis on user-generated content (UGC), a trend already seen in PUBG Mobile's World of Wonder mode. Krafton's plans to launch a UGC project that allows content sharing between players echo similar initiatives by competitors like Fortnite. This push towards UGC could signify a major direction for PUBG Mobile in 2025.

The roadmap also mentions a move to Unreal Engine 5 and an upgrade to current-gen consoles. This shift to a new engine could pose challenges for PUBG Mobile, as it might need to adopt Unreal Engine 5 as well.

So, while the roadmap is specific to PUBG, the focus on a unified experience and UGC suggests potential developments for PUBG Mobile. Whether these will lead to a fusion of the two versions remains to be seen, but the roadmap clearly indicates a bold step forward for the franchise in 2025.
