‘PUBG Mobile’ rolls out 1.9 update for 4th anniversary
After the successful PUBG Mobile x Jujutsu Kaisen crossover, PUBG Mobile has many more exciting things in store for its fans this year, including the first-ever Pinoy voice pack.
The mobile game port of the original PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will be releasing their 1.9 update soon. The main highlight of the update is the game's fourth anniversary celebration.
The free-to-play battle royale video game developed by LightSpeed & Quantum Studio, a division of Tencent Games, was originally released on March 19, 2018 for iOS and Android devices
The 1.9 Update features a new Royal Pass, map adjustments, a new racing game mode, and weapons. Another thing the update will bring is a couple of colorful modes into the game. Imagine skydiving into a colorful aerial battlefield and transforming into a player with expanding headgear and floating.
Pinoy gamers can expect colorful updates, a music video featuring Filipino rappers, mall events, and the very-first Tagalog voice pack for PUBG Mobile.
Air Battlefield
- After a hit from the enemy, your headgear may expand and float in the air. Once eliminated, you may return to the Battle Royale (BR) battlefield again.
- If a teammate hits you, the headgear will shrink, and you continue gameplay as you return to the ground.
- You only have five minutes after the battle commences to experience the colorful aerial battlefield that disappears, so hurry!
Colorful Birth Island
- Players can use four different colored balls to dye the central building in their favorite color.
- Birth Island players throw colored balls of different colors and summon four giant statues representing strategy, courage, cooperation, and calmness. Then they can trigger the unique performance of themed gameplay!
After the cursed battlefield from the Jujutsu Kaisen crossover, PUBG Mobile gets a happy makeover for this patch.

PUBG Mobile is also gearing up to launch Pop-Up Crates all over the Philippines to mark the fourth anniversary of the game since its launch.
