PUBG is about to celebrate its 6th anniversary! 6 years. I can’t quite believe it. In many ways, it was a gateway game for me, into a different style of play. Battle Royale, absolutely. But I think it helped me on my journey to engage with other genres, too. Roguelites spring to mind here. Have so little permanent stuff, knowing that learning maps and weapons and just dropping-dying-repeating over and over is the only way to improve.
It sounds twee, but PUBG changed my mindset, it changed my life in gaming in ways I didn’t realise until I started taking stock of it as we approach the 6th Anniversary! I still love it, and whilst it’s harder to get friends to drop with me these days, I love some solo runs, anyway.
PUBG has come a long way since that initial release, and my first foray into Erangel on the Xbox One was far from perfect. But PUBG Corp has put in the effort, fixes, re-works, re-builds and made it something far greater than I suspect anyone imagined!
To celebrate this milestone, they’ve prepared 6 various special drops, that include all kinds of rewards. So sit back, relax, and enjoy what the new anniversary drops have to offer!

6th Anniversary!
So yeah, PUBG has a lot going on. I really want that newbie hoodie, too and there’s no way of getting it, which is a real shame.
Happy 6 years to all PUBG players that have been dropping, looting, shooting and striving for that Chicken Dinner. And happy 6th Anniversary to PUBG itself. Still the GOAT Battle Royale in my eyes, despite the competition.
