Erangel leaves Subzero behind to welcome Spring Fest 2026 in Update 40.1.

The aftermath of Erangel Subzero can still be felt across the terrain. With Patch Report #40.1 , the map regains its regular pulse, but not before inviting you to explore the remnants left behind by the extreme cold —small traces that connect this new state of the environment with recent events.

The aftermath of Erangel Subzero can still be felt across the terrain. With Patch Report #40.1, the map regains its regular pulse, but not before inviting you to explore the remnants left behind by the extreme cold—small traces that connect this new state of the environment with recent events. Erangel changes, evolves, and challenges you to rediscover it through a new lens.

The update also marks the kickoff of Spring Fest 2026, an event that introduces a more vibrant tone amidst the conflict. This celebration arrives alongside the Transcendents—combatants with a unique visual style who add personality and presence to every engagement. The contrast between Subzero’s frozen legacy and the festival’s energy redefines the atmosphere of every match.

With this patch, PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS continues to refresh its world without losing narrative coherence, blending environmental changes with themed events that keep the battlefield in constant motion. Are you ready to scout Erangel and discover what remains after the thaw? More information here.
