However, it is important to note that there is no confirmation from Krafton as of yet. In India, Krafton has taken over the reigns of PUBG Mobile from Tencent after government backlash in the country against the Chinese tech giant.

Fortnite which is one of the biggest competitors of PUBG is also planning to upgrade to Unreal Engine 5 in an upcoming season, but it is not confirmed whether it will arrive in Season 9 or at the end of 2022, as per a report by livemint.com.
