PUBG 2025 Roadmap: Impacts on Mobile Gaming

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. While this roadmap is specifically for PUBG, it's worth noting that many of these changes, such as the introduction of the new map Rondo, have also been integrated into PUBG Mobile. However, one particular aspect caught our attention: the mention of a more "unified experience" moving forward.

Currently, this unified experience refers to the modes within PUBG, but it's not a stretch to imagine that this could extend to something even more significant. This might include a potential unification of the PC and mobile versions or the introduction of crossplay-compatible modes in the future.

Another intriguing point is the increased focus on UGC (user-generated content), which has already been a priority in PUBG Mobile with the World of Wonder mode. The roadmap emphasizes the launch of a PUBG UGC project that will allow content sharing among players, drawing parallels with competitors like Fortnite. This suggests that Krafton is aiming to enhance player engagement and creativity across all platforms.

So, could we see a fusion of the PC and mobile versions of PUBG? It's certainly a possibility, though currently, it's more about reading between the lines. The roadmap clearly outlines a major push forward for PUBG, and it's likely that PUBG Mobile will see similar developments in 2025.

However, a significant challenge lies in the planned adoption of Unreal Engine 5. This transition to a new engine would require PUBG Mobile to follow suit, which could be a complex process. Despite this, the roadmap signals exciting times ahead for PUBG and its mobile counterpart.
