Notable Additions In PUBG Mobile's 0.16.5 Update And Graphical Update For Lite Version

The much anticipated 0.16.5 patch of PUBG Mobile is finally out, and with it, the Royale Pass for the next season. In this post, we will list out some of the most notable changes in this update. The file size is about 140 MB on Android and 170 MB on iOS. The Season 11’s Royale Pass is named “Operation Tomorrow” and would go live today. Its theme is futuristic cyberpunk, with prominent neon colors. There would be no downtime – players should be able to access the content right away.

The highlight of the patch is the new area capture mode called Domination, which is very similar to another mode in rival game Call of Duty: Mobile. This mode would only be available on a map called “Town” in which players would be divided into two squads with four people each. The first team who manages to capture two out of three bases would win the match, however, due to the smaller player number, matches are more likely to be decided via kills.

Other notable features in the update are:

Light Snowmobile – a new addition to the Snowy hills of Vikendi. This vehicle is a variant of the original Snowmobile, which can fit two people. The Light Snowmobile trade its HP for speed and maneuverability.

Groza’s bullet damage rebalanced from 48 to 45 in Team Arena.

Season 10 Recap added, along with various improvements in Team Arena and Payload Mode. Various Quality of Life like security features and download status are also added.

Next, we are going to talk about the recent graphical update of the Lite version. With this, fans of PUBG with weaker devices would be able to enjoy the game even more - as they would now be able to tinker with the settings. PUBG Mobile Lite has just gotten a graphical overhaul, with options for Anti-Aliasing, Frame Rate, and Graphics added. For maximum performance, it is recommended to turn off AA, leave Frame Rate at High and Graphics at Smooth.
