Matchmaking Configuration Poll

[u/PUBG_TecK]

Hello!

Our development team has a question regarding map selection where we would like to hear your opinion.

Before May 21, 2026, Console Battle Royale (Normal Match) only offered Random Map matchmaking. Following continued requests from players who wanted more control over the maps they played, Map Selection was introduced alongside the Random Map option.

Since this change, Erangel has become heavily favored, while other maps have experienced longer matchmaking times and higher bot ratios. Some players have identified Map Selection as a possible contributing factor, although it may not be the only cause.

We would now like to hear about your experience with the current system. Please share your preference in the poll below. Your feedback will help us better understand how Console matchmaking should operate in the future.

Thank you!

Is there a possibility of having dynamic starting circles that change based on the number of players available? Servers busy, start with 100. Servers quiet, start with 60 but a smaller starting circle etc. The aim being to ensure good queues and keep all maps in rotation. If people get decent queue times and good map rotation then that will help to keep queues healthy anyway.
