PUBG is Getting an Event Mode, Starting With 8-Person Teams

PUBG's been belting out improvements and updates at a steady pace since Fortnite Battle Royale began nipping at its heels. Its latest addition, "Event Mode," lets you have specific Battle Royale experiences you won't find in vanilla matches (and some of which are only accessible for a limited time).

The first Event Mode, which should be available very soon, lets you play with up to eight players in a team with a doubled rifle drop rate. PUBG Corp admits it's not a very exciting debut for its new mode, but it says the system is new and needs to be tested. Steel yourself, though, because "the future of the Event Mode holds exciting things!"

For now, Event Mode only supports third-person perspective and is active on the Erangel map. You can access Events through PUBG's main menu.
