PUBG Server OUTAGE: Maintenance latest as weapon skins update goes LIVE for Battlegrounds

PUBG SERVER UPDATE

As mentioned, the game is now offline and will be down for the next four hours, as confirmed by a new tweet from the PUBG Help account on Twitter:

"PC players, as announced, our live servers are now down for maintenance. It will last for 4 hours starting from Mar 26 7PM PDT / Mar 27 4AM CEST. Apologies for the inconvenience."

Stay tuned for updates…

ORIGINAL STORY – PUBG servers will be going offline soon so that a new PlayerUnknowns update can be applied to the PC live servers of the game.

The Bluehole development team confirmed earlier today that they had pushed a new update to the test servers, introducing weapon skins to the game, which was one of the first promises from the PUBG 2018 roadmap.

However, shortly after pushing the patch live, the PUBG official Twitter help account confirmed that they would be deploying this to the live servers.

As such, the game will need to go offline for around 4 hours to make way for the new patch, as confirmed by the tweet below sent by the official help team.

"PC players, there will be a 4 hour maintenance period on our live servers starting at Mar 26 7PM PDT / Mar 27 4AM CEST / Mar 27 11AM KST. We will be moving our current test build over to live and starting the new leaderboard season."

This is due to start at 3AM GMT and should be concluded by 7AM GMT Tuesday morning for everyone in the UK.

Once live players will be able to obtain the new skins from two new crates. Players can acquire weapon skins either through the paid for Triumph crate, which is a weekly random crate or the Raider crate, which is a free non-random crate.

You can take a closer look at the new weapon skins in the gallery below and keep reading for the latest test server patch notes.
