In a collaboration perhaps not many people saw coming, one of Britain’s finest supercar manufacturers is launching onto the PUBG battlefield today. That’s right, McLaren are making their mark on the world of PUBG, as part of Update 19.2 coming to consoles today – such an update has been available on PC since the 7th September.

To cover the McLaren side of things first, PUBG players are able to pick up exclusive McLaren GT vehicle skins, costumes emotes and more from September 15th through to November 10th. Further cosmetics can be unlocked through the PUBG Workshop, as players gain tokens from McLaren Loot Caches and the Crafter Pass, which can be purchased separately from the storefront for your chosen platform. Finally, for those who own McLaren vehicle skins, a container containing a McLaren car will be spawned in at the start of each game, giving one lucky fighter the opportunity to flex their ride during the match.

So, that’s as much as supercars are concerned with Update 19.2 of PUBG, but the fun certainly does not stop there. As with most other updates to the game, a ton of new features are making their arrival to change the way you earn those coveted chicken dinners. Firstly, the Heavy Stock is making an introduction, acting as a new attachment providing less recoil for your weapons, at the cost of a lengthier reload. As with most things regarding attachments, there is a careful interplay between all the additions you make to your weapon.

Further changes have been made to the Deston map, the 9th map added to the game since launch. As well as the introduction of a new vehicle – the Not-So-Friendly Food Truck – that caters for four and features large windows to shoot out of, Deston is being kitted out with a weather system, in which slight changes are made to the weather over the course of a match. Whilst this is not a full day/night cycle, this simply serves to add some realism to proceedings.

Speaking of realism, and the much-awaiting animation refresh is coming as part of Update 19.2. It could always be argued that the animations in PUBG have usually been on the clunky side, but with this update we can hope to see smoother movements across the board.

In all, the key features include:

New attachments, animation improvements, map changes and supercars! Update 19.2 is hopefully one PUBG fans look back on with fond memories, so there’s no better time to get back into (or start your journey with) the free-to-play PUBG on Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One.

You can check out the full game on the Xbox Store, or alternatively pick it up on PS5, PS4, PC and Stadia.
