to weapons, vehicles, matchmaking, and performance,

0.9.0 update a tentative release date of October 25.
In a document that was posted to the game’s official Discord channel, PUBG
Mobile
developer Tencent Games said that
the Erangel map will now “alternate between day
and night randomly in
Classic Mode”. Night Vision Goggles, new buildings, covers, and
more trees are also coming
to Erangel.
With the new Spectator Mode in PUBG Mobile, players will be able to watch opponents
after they are killed. And with
Halloween around the corner, Spawn Island has been given
a themed makeover that
includes pumpkins and candies, enemies killed by Hellfire-AKM
will turn into scarecrows,
and a spooky face will appear after a grenade goes off.
The main menu will be
updated with Halloween theme and background music as well.
Tencent Games is also adding a ‘movie’ picture style to PUBG Mobile
settings,
though it didn’t detail what that
entails or looks like. Speaking of settings, players
can now turn on a toggle
that lets them quickly switch between scopes, adjust
game brightness, or
customise buttons for certain actions.
The new customisable outfits feature in in-app purchases will allow PUBG
Mobile
users to select colours and logos
before purchasing, while the redesigned Royale
Pass page makes it “more
convenient to view the weekly missions and collect weekly
mission rewards”.
Lastly, one of the performance improvements notes that it will resolve
“lagging issues when players
encounter other players from afar”, which some
players believe might be a
fix for the render lag that many complained with PUBG
Mobile update 0.8.0.
