After more than a week being active in a Public Test Server to preview new features and look for bugs, the 8.1 update for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is officially live on Google Stadia, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The big draw for Season 8 in the battle royale is a remastered version of PUBG's Sanhok map, including updated visuals, new landmark layouts, and "more balanced gameplay," according to its patch notes.

To coincide with the revamped map, which has clear or overcast weather types as well as sunrise and sunset variants, a new feature has also been added into the game. PUBG players can find up to eight loot trucks in Sanhok per match that drop gear when destroyed, but cause a lot of damage if they hit anyone.

The update also comes with a brand new Survivor Pass, gameplay updates like parachute following for teams, changed ranked rulesets, quality of life updates such as an added Irish language, and bug fixes. Season 8's patch notes are long and involved, which makes them worth a perusal for any of PUBG's 70 million players worldwide.

Though this update only just released, the development team behind PUBG also has plans in place for "interesting" additions coming in Season 9. It will likely be some time before that comes around, but in the meantime PUBG Mobile players can also take on exclusive content like the Livik map if they are interested in diversifying things.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is available for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and mobile devices.
