PUBG’s official 2025 roadmap is here, and the biggest news? A massive upgrade to Unreal Engine 5 (UE5). Since their launch, PUBG has been running on Unreal Engine 4. But now? It’s time for a major leap forward.
Why is PUBG moving to Unreal Engine 5?
According to the roadmap, this transition is crucial for PUBG’s future. The game is currently in the pre-production phase of the shift, with one key goal: better graphics without changing core mechanics.
Here’s what UE5 brings to the table:
- Enhanced visuals that make battles feel more immersive

- Better optimization to improve FPS and stability
The transition won’t happen overnight, though. Developers plan a gradual rollout to ensure a smooth experience for players.

- More detailed environments without losing performance
- A seamless transition with minimal disruption
For now, there’s no official release date. But stay tuned more details are coming soon.
