PUBG's Update 44.1 went live with patch notes on November 2, 2026. The new map rotation starts November 4 on PC and November 12 on console, and a developer letter covers the end of the LMG meta rotation.[1]
The update's headline cosmetic is a collaboration with K-pop group IVE, alongside a new Progressive Weapon Skins line in the November store refresh.[2][1]
Gameplay changes
Read the official patch notes for the map pool and balance items; the dev letter on the LMG rotation explains the reasoning behind this month's weapon shifts.[1]
The IVE collaboration
IVE-branded items lead the store update. Collaboration cosmetics are time-limited, so check the in-game schedule rather than third-party sellers.[2]
