PUBG 37.1 update is officially releasing on August 13, 2025, for PC, with consoles receiving it on August 21, 2025. This update introduces several notable features and improvements:

• A new PUBG x BUGATTI collaboration bringing luxury hyper sports cars into the game with multiple customization options.
• Significant anti-cheat technology enhancements including a new kernel-level anti-cheat system that detects and removes cheating players in real time for improved game security.
• Gameplay balance changes such as a 12% damage reduction and rate-of-fire decrease (about 45%) for DMR weapons to diversify viable weapon choices.
• Introduction of a progressive pump shotgun skin and ongoing updates to the UGC Alpha mode, allowing players to create and test custom game modes.
• Refreshment of existing crate skins like HUYA ONESIE and TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL on August 13, so players who want to keep current skins need to open crates beforehand.
• Return of fan-favorite arcade mini-game PlayerOmnom's Battlegrounds (POBG) with a new map Paramo and reinforcements to gameplay elements like vending machines and destructible pots.
• Cosmetic and store updates including a new Survivor Pass with just one item (Premium Pass) instead of a pack.

The update requires an 8.5-hour maintenance window starting around 5:30 AM IST on August 13 for PC servers.

The new kernel-level anti-cheat system represents a major step forward in security, targeting cheats that load at the operating system kernel level, scanning for suspicious code while the game is running and shutting down after closing the client. It will instantaneously remove detected cheaters from matches and issue bans, part of PUBG's broader 2025 Anti-Cheat Roadmap to maintain fair play.

Overall, Update 37.1 acts as both a content refresh—mainly for cosmetics and some player creativity tools—and a significant anti-cheat boost, setting up a more secure and balanced gameplay experience going forward.
