PUBG: Sanhok, the new map, returns to the test servers with a lot of changes!

PUBG's next and newest map, formerly known as "Codename: Savage", Sanhok is returning to the test servers much to the delight of its many fans. Going forward, testing will be available to anyone who owns a copy of PUBG. To do this, players will only need to download the version of "PUBG: Experimental Server" when it appears in the game library. This new map, called Sanhok, is still a long way from arriving on the live servers, which is why the developers are eagerly awaiting many detailed feedback on any problems encountered on the latter.

Test window for Sanhok

• Starts May 11 at 4 a.m.
• Ends May 14 at 13 p.m.

Check Availability

• TPP and FPP available.
• NA, EU and AS: Solo, Duo and Squad.
