World-renowned footballer Lionel Messi is coming to PUBG Mobile in the new Version 2.3 Update.

The update plans to celebrate the season of football with an event called the PUBG Mobile Global Chicken Cup.

So, what does the curiously-named Global Chicken Cup entail?

These footballs can also be used to attack enemies, because of course they can.

Players who just want to play more battle royale arent being left behind, either.

A few of the in-game maps are getting retouched in Version 2.3.

Erangels Stalber region for example, now has three new cable car routes and a simplified layout.

Bunkers are also scattered around the map, populated by AI enemies players can defeat to earn supplies.
