The PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS map rotation for Update 44.1 is scheduled to begin on November 4 on PC and November 12 on console. PC players in Europe and console players get the same normal match map pools, but on different dates.
Erangel remains in the pool for all 4 weeks. Rondo features in the first 3, before Taego and Karakin join the pool in the fourth. The official PUBG report also lists a separate selection for Ranked.
Key points
- On PC, the weeks begin on November 4, 11, 18 and 25.
- On console, they begin on November 12, 19 and 26, followed by December 3.
- Erangel remains in the normal match pool for all 4 weeks in Europe on PC and in all console regions.
- In Ranked, 4 maps each have a 25% chance of being selected.
PUBG 44.1 map rotation for normal matches
The schedule below applies to normal matches in the EU region on PC and consoles in all regions. The pools are identical in both cases, but each platform follows its own schedule:
- Week 1 — PC: November 4; console: November 12. Maps: Erangel, Vikendi and Rondo.
- Week 2 — PC: November 11; console: November 19. Maps: Erangel, Deston and Rondo.
- Week 3 — PC: November 18; console: November 26. Maps: Erangel, Rondo and Sanhok.
- Week 4 — PC: November 25; console: December 3. Maps: Erangel, Taego and Karakin.
For subsequent rotations, PUBG says the change is expected on Wednesdays at 02:00 UTC on PC and Thursdays at 07:00 UTC on console. This general schedule does not specify the start time of the first week. PC players in other regions should check their regional schedule, as the European schedule may differ.
Rondo remains in the pool for the first 3 weeks to give players a chance to discover the changes to its world, PUBG says.
Ranked and maintenance: separate schedules
For Ranked, PUBG lists Erangel, Miramar, Taego and Rondo at 25% each. The Ranked rotation is updated each season, while the normal match pools follow the weekly schedule above.
The Update 44.1 patch notes schedule PC server maintenance for November 4, 2026, from 00:00 to 08:30 UTC, followed by console maintenance on November 12, from 01:00 to 09:00 UTC. These planned times are subject to change; the announcement does not confirm that maintenance has taken place.
The platform schedule matters when choosing a week to play: console players get the first week's pool while the PC schedule is already in its second week. Ranked follows its separate seasonal rotation.
