What’s in PUBG update 20? Regular PUBG updates are essential with the dominance of Epic’s brightly-coloured rival Fortnite in mind, and the latest PUBG patch notes are certainly shaping up to improve on Brendan Greene’s famous battle royale game.
Each PUBG update has kept us coming back to the game, but with so many changes coming thick and fast, it can be tough to get your head around them all. To help keep you as updated as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, below you can find everything you need to know about all the new content on its way.
PUBG update 20 replaces Motorbikes with Scooters on Sanhok but, coming to all maps is a new PUBG weapon, the Beryl M762. With lower bullet damage than the AKM but a higher fire rate, this could be a lethal new weapon for players that can control Beryl’s recoil. Elsewhere there are plenty of bug fixes and tweaks, driven forward by the three-month Fix PUBG campaign. Here are the full patch notes for PUBG update 20.

The latest patch notes are on live servers now, so typically that would mean they come to the main game a week afterwards. For us that would make the PUBG update 20 release date August 23 but, with a new vehicle and weapon to test, that could be a stretch.
