PUBG Mobile update time: Tencent reveal Sanhok 0.8 release date download plans

on


According to the latest update, the Sanhok 0.8 release could begin as early as 1am in the UK.

However, Tencent has only provided a rough estimate on times, meaning it could launch between 1am and 9am on September 12.

Here's more from a community manager, who explains: "For now, we are still making sure that the update is good to roll out globally hence the Phillippines and the UK first before we open up the floodgates.

"As for the separate map download - once you update the game, you will still have to initiate in-game download of the map itself. This is because we did quite a bit of optimization on not only Sanhok but all 3 maps - and hence heftier download within the game. But we hope that the end result will be to your benefit."

Sanhok can be downloaded independently, so enter the game and get it right away to join your friends in the rainforest!
