World

• Added a new map - Miramar. Miramar will be the only map available during phase 1
• Miramar supports 2 weather types:
  
  • Clear
  • Sunrise
• Miramar builds on and modifies the core Battle Royale experience by providing varied visuals and gameplay:
  
  • Vaulting & Climbing action will be even more useful when crossing the Miramar terrain
  • Players can experience highly tactical battles that will force them to utilize their cover and concealment skills
  • Choosing the vehicle type is more important than before, as off-road driving is now different from on-road driving experience

Items

• Added 3 new weapons. These weapons are Miramar exclusives:
  
  • Added R45. R45 will be spawned in world, it uses .45 ammo and 6 bullets can be loaded. Red dot sight can be attached. It has high accuracy and faster reload speed than R1895
  • Added Win94. Win94 will be spawned in world. It’s a variant of a lever action rifle that uses .45 ammo and 8 bullets can be loaded. It’s for an expert player since it doesn’t take any attachments and is mid-range effective with slow reload speed but high damage
  • Added Sawed-Off. Sawed-Off will be spawned in world. It uses 12 gauge shot and 2 shells can be loaded. No attachments available. It has short range, high dispersion, lower damage than other shotguns but can fire in rapid succession
• Added new Ghillie suit to the care package
• R1895 will not spawn in Miramar

Vehicles

• Added 3 new vehicles:
  
  • Added Van. Van is a six-seat vehicle. It has low maximum speed and driving force but it has the highest HP in the game. Therefore, the Van can be useful in various tactical situations
  • Added Pickup. Pickup is a four-seat off-road vehicle and designed to be well adjusted for Miramar’s bumpy terrain. Pickup is the most all-around vehicle in the game and suitable for various playstyles
  • Added Aquarail. Aquarail is a two-seat water vehicle. The player in the passenger seat can user their weapons. It has good cornering and high mobility so you can expect Aquarail to do well in guerrilla tactics.
    Motorcycle and Buggy are also available in Miramar. They have different skins compared to their Erangel cousins.

Tencent and TIMI Studio Group released an official webpage complete with a trailer for their upcoming mobile version of Player Unknown's Battlegrounds. A second web page from Tencent that popped up for a different PUBG mobile game developed by Lightspeed & Quantum Studio. While it is still unknown if these games will ever come to the West, it is pretty interesting to see that there will be two official PUBG adaptations coming to the Android in the near future.

What is currently known about the TIMI Studio Group version is that you can pre-register from within the official site, but you will have to use a WeChat or QQ account to actually sign-up. It also appears that this version is not a direct port as it will contain naval battles, which are not in the original PC title.

Tencent didn't say when PUBG for mobile will be ready. All we know for now is that development is making "very good progress" and that, China will get first dibs. There's also no word on whether the port will eventually make it to other markets around the world, but it'd be strange for Tencent and PUBG Corp not to do so: with the PC version having already shipped over 21 million copies so far, its mobile port can potentially come close to that figure, depending on how good the modification is. It'll also be interesting to see how this figure compares to that of the upcoming Xbox One version, especially given that the latter likely won't be released in China any time soon, if ever.
