techradar.com:

A new PUBG update for Season 22 arrived on February 15 2023, for PC and February 23 for next-gen consoles. 

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (or PUBG and PUBG: Battlegrounds) spearheaded the popularity of battle royale games, becoming a breakout hit that inspired countless competitors like Fortnite or Apex Legends. This third-person shooter is available to play on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC. 

Unlike its rivals, PUBG is a simulation-focused affair, with real-world weapons and physics to consider, such as bullet drop and variable weather conditions. You'll need to fight off 99 other players within a shrinking map to secure the coveted «winner-winner chicken dinner», so strategy and tactics are crucial.

Now PUBG has a standardized duration of two months; we can expect Season 22 to come to a close on April 17, 2023. Want to know more about the current season and all its new patch notes(opens in new tab)? Read on for everything we know about PUBG Season 22 so far. 

The new PUBG update for Season 22 of ranked competition went live on PC on February 15, 2023, and was available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5 from February 23. The third-person shooter is also accessible on Android and iOS.

PUBG mobile shares all the maps and features that players have come to enjoy. You can expect things like auto pick-up, aim assist and touchscreen controls and other mobile optimizations. Sadly, PUGB doesn't support cross-platform progression between platforms, so you can't just switch it up in between. However, Xbox and PlayStation players can still play online together thanks to cross-play.

Seasons tend to run for two months, though the exact date for a new season is never revealed until a few weeks prior. As such, we'd expect Season 22
