PUBG Mobile update 1.5 is now available, introducing a massive rework to the Erangel map, offering a new Royale Pass system, and – adding Tesla Model Y and Semi as in-game vehicles.
While the partnership with Tesla might be the most interesting part of the update, the reworked Erangel map will probably have the biggest impact on your moment-to-moment gameplay. Six districts have seen a "comprehensive technological transformation," leading to a radically redesigned map. As you're running around the battlefield, here are a few of the new zones you'll encounter:

- Transit Center (previously Pochinki)
- Port of Georgopol (previously Georgopol)
- Tech Center (previously the School)
- Security Center (previously the Military Base)
- Logistics Agency (previously Yasnaya Polyana)
- Energy Center (previously Mylta Power)
You'll also find HyperLines – a new transit system that lets you move between fixed locations at certain times to quickly travel across the map.
As for that Tesla partnership, four Gigafactories can be found across Erangel along with the ability to craft a Tesla Model Y. There's also the chance to find the self-driving Tesla Semi on roads throughout the map. Tesla doesn't seem as out of place in PUBG Mobile as Bugatti did in Black Desert, but it's still a unique partnership – to say the least.
The rest of the patch consists of updates to Classic Mode, a new Clan Clash mode that pits clans against each other in a two-week battle, and a complete revamp of the Royale Pass System.
"From Version 1.5 onwards, the current Royale Pass will be replaced by the Royale Pass Month (RPM) system," PUBG Mobile announced. "Each Royale Pass Month will run for one month only. The price of each Royale Pass Month is 360 UC (reduced from 600 UC) and the highest rank has been reduced from 100 to 50. The amount of rewards will also be upgraded. A Challenge Point System is also being implemented to evaluate player’s actions, awarding bonuses for positive behavior such as not quitting, not using friendly fire or going AFK."
PUBG Mobile update 1.5 is now available on iOS and Android.
