PUBG Mobile’s 4.7 update is expected to land on Thursday, 12 November, and it is one of Pakistan’s top Google searches today, with “pubg” and “pubg mobile 4.7 update release date” both on the list. Most gaming outlets give 12 November as the global date, and the game’s own press release on Games Press promises “mythical creatures and frozen adventures”.

What time does PUBG Mobile 4.7 come out?

PUBG has not announced a time. Updates usually roll out in stages over the morning, so in Pakistan expect it from around 6 AM to 7 AM onwards, with Play Store and App Store copies appearing at different times. Indian sites say the same 4.7 content will reach BGMI separately. One tip that always helps: free up storage first, because these updates are large and the download stops if the phone runs out of space.

What is new in 4.7

An ancient beast mode. The headline mode has a Norse feel. Several previews describe a giant creature that players hunt and seal, and then walk around inside. Some call it a dragon boss.

Aurora Pegasus. A horse-like vehicle that runs on the ground and can also fly, according to previews from LDShop and SportsDunia.

Glyph skills. New ability symbols that give players extra powers during a match.

Two new guns. The JS9 and the Honey Badger are reported to arrive through the card collection system, where they can be upgraded.

Fishing and winter events. SportsDunia lists a Frost Festival, a PvE section and fishing as part of the new gameplay.

Is the frozen Erangel in this update?

Not certain. Erangel Subzero, a snow-and-ice version of the classic map, appears in some patch lists for 12 November, but one preview says it will arrive in December. Treat it as possible, not promised, until it shows up in the game.

Besides the update, Krafton, the South Korean company behind PUBG, reported its third-quarter results this week. GamesIndustry.biz said revenue rose 11.6% even though PC and console earnings fell, which shows how much the mobile game carries the company.

PUBG Mobile has been legal in Pakistan since the PTA lifted its ban in 2020, and it remains one of the most played games here, especially among students. The 4.7 patch notes will be posted in the game and on PUBG Mobile’s official accounts when the update goes live.
