Krafton has unveiled ambitious plans for PUBG's evolution through 2025, including upgrades to Unreal Engine 5, next-gen console compatibility, and high-profile collaborations. While these announcements primarily concern the PC/console version, several elements suggest significant implications for PUBG Mobile's future direction.
