PUBG’s best new map is now live on consoles

Console players are getting the best new PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds map today. Vikendi, the snowy 6-kilometer-by-6-kilometer mountainous landscape, hit PC in December. It is launching on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 right now. And console players should get excited because Vikendi is everything you want from a battle royale map.

One of the best things about a battle royale is creating attachments to the locations in its world. I have memories of fights throughout PUBG’s original Erangel map. Every time I would return to Zharki, for example, I would recall how I stalked someone through the barn and then took a car down the coast. But Vikendi is special because developer The PUBG Corporation has made it easier than ever to form those attachments.
