Level Infinite starts the new year with an outstanding achievement as PUBG Mobile has crossed 1 billion downloads on the Play Store. This milestone highlights the game’s massive global popularity. Along with the download numbers, the average rating of 4.5 is equally impressive, something only a few games worldwide have achieved. To celebrate this success, the developers shared a special post on their official Instagram page.
They said:
“Celebrating 1 BILLION+ downloads! 🚀
From the first drop to now, every player made this possible. This is your victory. Thank you for fighting with us!”
Remember, these downloads are only for the Global version; the other versions, such as PUBG KR, PUBG TW, PUBG VN, and BGMI, also have Millions of downloads. The game reached a cumulative one billion downloads in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic, when it was at its peak.
Now the developers are bringing fresh content to the game while optimizing it for low-end devices. Developers introduced super-smooth graphics to reduce RAM usage and CPU load by minimizing textures and lowering overall graphic quality.
In 2026, the ranking system is set to change completely, and a new PrimeWood Genesis-themed mode is coming with a fresh concept. For the first time in the game’s history, when you plant a Luna Bud fruit seed, it will grow in the second or third match at the same location.
On the other hand, officials are organizing tournaments and events at both regional and global levels. For example, in the third week of December, they held the PUBG Mobile Winter Rumble tournament with a prize pool of over Rs. 100,000. These competitions motivate players to improve their skills and earn rewards. You should never miss these opportunities, as they build confidence and offer recognition for your hard work.
