PUBG’s Update 43.2 map rotations will begin Oct. 14, 2026, on PC, with the console schedule starting Oct. 22. The plan covers three weekly changes, keeps Erangel in the fixed slot across several regions, and gives Ranked an even four-map split.
PUBG’s Update 43.2 Map Service Report draws on map-preference data collected from Aug. 3 through Sept. 28. PUBG measured playtime, match counts, map selections and leave rates across modes, and notes that rounded percentages may not total exactly 100%. Taego led the preference figures in AS at 34.7% and SEA at 25.8%. Sanhok led KAKAO at 43%, while Erangel led NA, SA, EU, RU and console at 18.4%, 19.1%, 23%, 24% and 18.8%, respectively.
The three scheduled changes are a shorter plan than the five-week rotation schedule for Update 43.1. PC rotations are scheduled for Wednesdays at 02:00 UTC, and console rotations for Thursdays at 07:00 UTC.

NA, SA, EU and RU on PC, along with console regions, share a rotation structure with Erangel fixed and one large-map and one small-map slot changing each week.

| 2 | Erangel | Taego | Karakin |
| 3 | Erangel | Miramar | Paramo |
Ranked keeps its four-map split
Ranked remains divided equally among Erangel, Miramar, Taego and Rondo, with each map at 25%. Its map service changes season by season rather than following the weekly Normal Match schedule.
