The latest online multiplayer game that airsofters are absorbed with when not playing airsoft, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG), is about to get a new set of maps set in the desert. NVIDIA reported about the new maps in a news article at their website.

PUBG is a highly successful game that sold 20 million copies when it was introduced via  Steam's early access program in March 2017 with a peak of 2 million concurrent players making it the most played on steam. Some of the famous airsoft players we know of that play the game are Marck, Tim, and Max of RWTV, as well as guys from NODE of Corridor Digital, Jet Desertfox and Unicorn Leah.

Inspired by the Japanese film “Battle Royale” which was released in 2000 and which Hunger Games was said to be based on (unproven), PUBG is a death match game of up to hundred players at any given time. Players have to find weapons and equipment as they try to survive in the map they are in with the safe area decreasing over time with the last player or team standing winning the round.

The game is still in Early Access but an update has been made this month with the vaulting and climbing features added. Also the ballistics have been adjusted to make it more realistic. According to the Kitguru dataminers have been combing through the update and they got a better look of the desert map and new vehicles. Below are the sceenshots as provided by NVIDIA.

The Desert Map will be available for PUBG once it exits the Early Access later this year.
