PUBG Monthly Update, Weekly Patch, New Skins and More

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds had an announcement regarding the weekly patch, monthly update, new skins, and more. The weekly patch offers various fixes, while the monthly update brings first-person server options. New skins will be a part of the three crates coming from August 3rd.

PUBG Crates and Skins

Starting on August 3rd, there will be three new crates. You can buy them with your battle points on the Rewards page. Wanderer Crate and Survivor crate will be free to open. In order to open the third one – the Gamescom Invitational Crate – you’ll need a $2.50 key per each. The proceeds of the key sales will go towards providing funds needed to organize the Gamescom PUBG Invitational, a prize pool for the winners, and to support a selection of charities.

The Gamescom Invitational Crates will not be available after August 27th. All three of the crates will be tradeable on the Steam Community Market. For all the information regarding this matter, be sure to check the official announcement page.
