PUBG Arena Mode was announced by PUBG Corporation.

The new game mode will be featured as a test concept through the PUBG Labs system to see if it should be introduced to the game on a larger scale. The game mode will become available soon, so let's take a look at everything you need to know about PUBG Arena Mode.

PUBG Arena Mode: Everything You Need to Know

PUBG Arena Mode is a new, combat-focused mode that encourages players to battle it out. The mode will place two or three squads in sectioned off areas of the map. In these areas, the squads will fight until only one remains. If you lose, you'll lose one of your three chances. Lose all your chances and you're eliminated.

Once three or fewer squads remain, they'll enter a sudden death battle to crown a winner. The final team standing takes home the win.

While most of the rules stay the same, the biggest difference between Arena Mode and regular PUBG is that weapons will not spawn around the map. Instead, you will earn currency for killing other players that can be spent on purchasing new guns and explosives.

Arena Mode will be available in LABS over two different sessions. They are different depending on which platform you use to play the game, which are listed below:

PC

  • Sept. 18 (3:00 a.m. ET) ~ Sept. 21 (3:00 a.m. ET)
  • Sept. 25 (3:00 a.m. ET) ~ Sept. 28 (3:00 a.m. ET)

Console

  • Sept. 25 (3:00 a.m. ET) ~ Sept. 28 (3:00 a.m. ET)
  • Oct. 2 (3:00 a.m. ET) ~ Oct. 5 (3:00 a.m. ET)

Arena Mode won't stick around forever, so make sure you give it a try while it lasts.
