Sammie Kang, the Community Lead at PUBG Santa Monica, has revealed that the incredibly popular battle royale title will receive a major update after the PUBG Global Invitational 2018, which concludes on July 29.

The statement came after a Twitter user, Kevin O’Connell, expressed his disappointment in the current state of the game, saying that “constant issues” were beginning to get to him.

Kang also promised that the development team behind PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will “continue to work on other things that cause issues for players” after that update.

Unfortunately, Kang is staying close-mouthed about any additional information, simply stating that the patch notes will be released after PGI comes to a close.
