The PUBG Mobile team has launched the open beta for the 1.7 Update, accessible to all players without an invite code. Beta testers have uncovered compelling new features set to elevate the battle royale experience.
PUBG Mobile consistently delivers fresh, engaging content, including limited-time modes and high-profile collaborations. With updates rolling out every two months, the 1.7 version is slated for mid-November release, keeping the community buzzing.
As Krafton's PUBG: New State ramps up competition, the developers are doubling down on PUBG Mobile with standout additions to retain and excite its massive player base. Recent beta leaks spotlight these key changes:
A fan-favorite from PUBG PC, the Piggyback mechanic—allowing players to carry downed teammates on their back for revival—is finally coming to mobile. Long-requested by the community, this will add strategic depth to squad play.

Video leaks from the 1.7 beta confirm the DP-28 LMG—a staple for its rock-solid stability among beginners and pros alike—will see reduced damage output. This balance tweak may shift meta strategies.
The update introduces the AC-VAL, an assault rifle twist on the stealthy VSS. As the first AR to use 9mm ammo, expect a blistering fire rate, making it a game-changer for close-quarters combat.
These features are likely to appear in Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) as well.
