PUBG Servers Being Reset On PC Ahead Of 1.0 Release

Bluehole's super-popular Battle Royale game, PUBG, is leaving Early Access for PC on December 20. In preparation for the full release, the developer has announced plans to wipe the leaderboards--and it's happening soon.

The leaderboards on PC will be reset on December 19 at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET. This works out to 3 AM CET and 12 PM AEST on December 20. The new season will then kick off when 1.0 rolls out on PC sometime in on December 20. Specific timing for this will be announced "soon," according to a message posted by the game's Twitter account today.

Among the new features PUBG 1.0 will include are climbing and vaulting, which PlayerUnknown himself, Brendan Greene, says "will change the game severely." It will also feature a new desert map called Miramar, which is already playable on the game's test server.

In other PUBG news, the game launched on Xbox One in the Game Preview program last week. It's been a quick hit, selling 1 million copies in its first two days. The console version is expected to leave Game Preview in 2018 with the new desert map also coming in 2018. PUBG for Xbox One recently added Oceania servers, which is good news for players in Australia and New Zealand.
