PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds introduces Events with 8-player squads

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds continues to grow and change, and this week its designers are testing a feature that enables you to experience the last-player-standing shooter in fresh ways. Late last night, the PUBG Corp. studio announced that it is rolling out a mode called Events on its test server. This is a alternative to the vanilla game that will remix rule sets and include limited-time content similar to the Arcade in Overwatch.

The first event is an 8-player squad match, which doubles the size of the standard teams. The studio also doubled the number of rifles so players still have a decent chance to get the equipment they want as eight people all ransack a town for loot at the same time.
