The 4.1 update for PUBG Mobile is dropping soon, and it's packing Winter Mode into the mix. Set to roll out around mid-October, this patch layers snow across maps, tweaks how the land behaves, and throws in environmental hurdles that shake up your matches.
Here's what players can look forward to
Expect maps draped in thick snow that cuts down on visibility and slows your steps. The terrain gets slick underfoot, turning simple runs into potential wipeouts and making cars handle like they're on ice – way harder to steer straight.
But it's not all bad; those snow-packed roads might bump your top speeds, though one wrong turn could send you sliding into trouble. Heavy snowfall ramps up the chaos by fogging up long-range shots, so grab your close-quarters favorites like shotguns or SMGs, slap on a thermal scope, or claim the high ground to spot enemies first.
Avalanches are in play too, crashing down to seal off paths or serve as handy barricades for sneaky plays. Smart moves include suiting up in white gear to vanish into the blizzard, scanning for snowmobiles zipping around, and keeping scraps tight-range until the flakes thin out. One fun wrinkle from tester reports: you might slip right off a rooftop mid-loot chase in a frosty hot drop zone, adding that extra layer of frustration and laughs.
This isn't the first time winter's hit PUBG – it last showed up in the 3.5 update back in November 2024, and players couldn't get enough of the chill factor. Now, it's back with even more bite, including icy loot spots that tempt high-risk drops and full-on frozen areas begging for aggressive starts.
PUBG Mobile 4.1 Beta
The beta version went live yesterday, October 10, 2025, giving early birds a shot at testing the freeze before everyone else piles in. Sign up through the official PUBG Mobile Beta site if you haven't – those slots vanish quick, then just download the test client to jump in. The complete update should land globally in November 2025, lining up with Krafton's usual schedule.
Don't sleep on the premium drops: Glacier SCAR-L skins are making a comeback, alongside Mythic Forge outfits for that icy edge. Leaks point to more treats like Legendary Glacier variants for the M416, UMP45, and AKM, plus Arctic-themed cosmetics, upgradable 3D gun skins, and fresh premium crates to snag.
