  PUBG Mobile  players now have access to a new map made specifically for people who play the battle royale game on tablets and smartphones. Called ‘Livik,’ this is the first time the PUBG team has developed a smaller map exclusive to the mobile version of the game, one that will result in shorter matches across a smaller landscape. The update was released on July 5 . We first heard details about Livik in late June; the map was teased on the official PUBG Mobile website, as well, with a somewhat obscured image of its compact landscape. The map is live in the game as of July 5, according to the new PUBG Mobile version 0.19.0 patch notes, joining a new theme, some game tweaks, and bug fixes.

The mobile-only map measures 2km x 2km and will be capped at a maximum of 52 players per match. The experience should be much bette...
