PUBG 2025 Roadmap: What's Next for Mobile?

Today, Krafton unveiled an exciting roadmap for PUBG in 2025, hinting at significant developments that could impact the mobile version as well. The roadmap includes a shift to Unreal Engine 5, a move to current-gen consoles, and more high-profile collaborations. However, it's the mention of a "unified experience" across modes that particularly caught our attention, sparking speculation about what this could mean for PUBG Mobile.

Enter the battlegroundsThe roadmap, while focused on PUBG itself, includes elements that have already been integrated into the mobile version, such as the new map Rondo. The emphasis on a "unified experience" suggests a future where the different modes of PUBG could become more interconnected. This could potentially extend to a broader unification between the PC/console and mobile versions, or even the introduction of crossplay-compatible modes.

The roadmap also highlights a stronger push towards user-generated content (UGC), a trend already evident in PUBG Mobile's World of Wonder mode. Krafton's plans to launch a UGC project that allows content sharing among players echo the successful model seen in competitors like Fortnite. This focus on UGC could lead to a richer, more dynamic gaming experience on mobile.

While the roadmap doesn't explicitly detail plans for PUBG Mobile, the mention of adopting Unreal Engine 5 poses a significant challenge. Transitioning to a new engine would require mobile to follow suit, which could be a major undertaking but also a step towards a more seamless experience across platforms.

So, could we see a fusion of the two versions of PUBG? It's certainly a possibility, though currently, it's all about reading between the lines. The roadmap clearly signals a major push forward for PUBG, and it's likely that PUBG Mobile will see at least some of these developments in 2025.
