The PUBG Mobile 3.1 update is expected to be released in March 2024. New updates are often released every two months, and since the 3.0 update was launched in early January, a period of two months would indicate the next update to be sometime in March.

When the update is released, you can expect the servers to undergo a period of maintenance. This may take some time and you will be unable to play the game. However, once the update is completed, you will be able to download the latest version of PUBG Mobile at the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

If you cannot download the update from your preferred app store, then here's how you can download the PUBG Mobile 3.1 update manually.

The developers recognize that downloading issues may occur, so they often provide the full APK files for game updates on the official PUBG Mobile website.

To download and install the 3.1 update, follow these instructions:

  1. Enable "Install from Unknown Source" in your device's Settings. This is done to enable downloading files from the web browser.
  2. Visit the official PUBG Mobile website.

Unfortunately, the developers don't make the update files for iOS devices available elsewhere other than the App Store. If you want to manually obtain the 3.1 update files, then you should go there.

In a "Top Secret File" released by the PUBG Mobile team, it appears that they are teasing what many in the community are describing as an 'Arabian Nights' theme mode.

This could introduce various new features to the game. For one, this includes the Flying Carpet as a potential vehicle. A day and night mode may be added to PUBG Mobile, as depicted in the teaser image. Besides this, it is rumored that a Genie Grenade and a portal will be available as limited-time items.

If you look closely at the image, you may spot a balloon with the number '6' on the B-side of the teaser. This is supposedly referencing PUBG Mobile's sixth anniversary which would fall on March 18, 2024. We could see a special event held that's full of rewards and new skins in honor of this occasion. The fireworks in the image seem to confirm some celebrations that may be held.

It is rumored that the P90 will be added to PUBG Mobile as a new Air Drop gun. This futuristic-looking weapon is known for its great accuracy, high ammo capacity, and powerful damage.

Leaked gameplay also suggests that a Transformers collaboration could also be coming to PUBG Mobile.

Besides all this, we may also see the arrival of new powerful items, updated mechanics, maps, and a list of other gameplay improvements.
