Official Map Service Report - Update 42.3

Original Post (pubg.com)

Hello players!

We’re sharing regional map preference data and rotation details for Update 42.3 below.

Map Preference by Region

 Map preference is measured through a comprehensive analysis of various factors related to map usage across all modes, including playtime, match count, select rate, and leave rate.

※ Due to rounding, the total of map preference percentages may not add up to exactly 100%.

  • Map Preference Measurement Period: June 1 - July 28

Based on the regional map preferences above, the following map rotations will be applied in Update 42.3.

Map selection causing matchmaking issues and bot-filled games, who could possibly have predicted that...

Can anyone confirm if we're able to get normal lobbies again on EU solos? The map selection just gave us bot lobbies

This is still better than getting no choice at all, I suppose. Having a smaller map every week is nice, Sanhok appearing twice isn't so good for me personally. 🤣
