What does the PUBG 2025 roadmap mean for mobile?

The 2025 PUBG roadmap is out, and it has some exciting implications for PUBG Mobile. Krafton's ambitious plans include a transition to Unreal Engine 5, next-gen console releases, and high-profile collaborations. While the roadmap focuses on the core PUBG experience, many of its changes, like the addition of the Rondo map, have already trickled down to mobile. However, the emphasis on a "unified experience" across game modes is particularly intriguing.

Currently, this unification refers to PUBG's various modes. However, it hints at a potentially larger vision: a merging of the core game and its mobile counterpart, or at least the introduction of cross-play compatible modes.

The roadmap also highlights a stronger push towards User-Generated Content (UGC), mirroring the successful World of Wonder mode on mobile. The planned launch of a PUBG UGC project, enabling content sharing between players, draws parallels to competitors like Fortnite and suggests a potential future direction.

Could a full fusion of PUBG and PUBG Mobile be on the horizon? While it's speculative, the roadmap strongly suggests a convergence of features and experiences. The adoption of Unreal Engine 5 presents a significant challenge for mobile, but the overall direction points towards a closer alignment between the two versions in 2025. We can expect to see at least some mirroring of the core game's advancements in PUBG Mobile's development.
