PUBG: Battlegrounds’ Latest Map Deston Arrives July 13: Details Also Revealed

PUBG Battlegrounds is all set to receive an all-new map, as revealed via teasers last week. The development team has now shared more details about the new map that will be available in-game on July 13.

Deston is a partially drowned megacity with some of the tallest buildings in the game’s history, and according to the developers, is the densest 8×8 map created for PUBG: Battlegrounds. The developers explain that the new map was created after collecting feedback from maps like “Haven” to make Deston the biggest, densest map the game has ever seen.

Deston is home to several biomes that force players to use different gear, vehicles, and cover to achieve a victory.
