It looks like you'll be able to pick yourself up after a beatdown in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds soon. Dataminer PlayerIGN says that PUBG is getting a new revive and self-pickup mechanic in update 12.2.
It's been a long time coming, too. PlayerIGN shares that the self-pickup mechanic has been in the game's files since 2018, so the PUBG team has been knocking the idea around for the past three years. You shouldn't have long to wait for it, either, as update 12.2 is set to land July 7 on PC.
The big addition in the next PUBG update is the new map Taego, which will be 8x8km like Miramar – so it'll be a big boy. Details are a tad light on the new map, aside from teases from Krafton. We caught a slight tease of a downed player holding their chest, alongside new guns and a Pony Coupe, so we did have some hint this was coming. According to PlayerIGN, South Korean PUBG player sources have also said Taego's "new respawn system will utilise a Gulag island, where players fight for their revival".
