PUBG: Battlegrounds will keep Rondo in every region’s Normal Match pool for the first 3 weeks of Update 44.1, giving players time to see its world updates. The new rotation begins Nov. 4 on PC and Nov. 12 on console.
Erangel will remain fixed across the regional pools, but the other maps depend on where and when you play. PUBG’s Update 44.1 map service plan covers 4 weeks, with PC rotations scheduled for Wednesdays at 02:00 UTC and console rotations for Thursdays at 07:00 UTC.
Update 44.1 rotation dates
| Week | PC | Console |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Nov. 4 | Nov. 12 |
| 2 | Nov. 11 | Nov. 19 |
| 3 | Nov. 18 | Nov. 26 |
| 4 | Nov. 25 | Dec. 3 |
Console players still have one more change under the preceding schedule. The final week of Update 43.2’s console rotation is scheduled to start Nov. 5.
NA, SA, EU, RU and console map pool
PC players in NA, SA, EU and RU share the following lineup with console players in all regions. Erangel stays fixed, while the other 2 slots change by week.

| 1 | Erangel | Vikendi | Rondo |
| 2 | Erangel | Deston | Rondo |
| 3 | Erangel | Rondo | Sanhok |

Rondo appears in the column named small rotation for the first 2 weeks, even though PUBG included it in the large-map pool when it explained the three-slot Map Selection system in August.
AS, SEA and KAKAO map pools
AS and SEA will both keep Erangel and Taego fixed throughout the schedule. Their favored and additional maps differ, including a fourth week with Rondo still available in SEA.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sanhok, Vikendi | Rondo | Sanhok, Rondo | Paramo |
| 2 | Miramar, Sanhok | Rondo | Miramar, Sanhok | Rondo |

KAKAO will keep Erangel, Taego and Sanhok in its fixed pool. Its remaining slots will change as follows.
| Week | Favored | Additional |

| 1 | Miramar | Rondo |
| 2 | Vikendi | Rondo |
| 3 | Miramar | Rondo |
| 4 | Vikendi | Paramo |
Regional preferences and Ranked
PUBG based the rotations on map preference data from Aug. 24 through Oct. 19. The measurement combines factors across all modes, including playtime, match count, selection rate and leave rate. Percentages may not total exactly 100% because of rounding.
Taego led the preference figures in AS at 34.6% and SEA at 25.7%, while Sanhok led KAKAO at 43%. Erangel led NA at 18.4%, SA at 19.4%, EU at 22.7%, RU at 22.5% and console at 19.6%.
Ranked uses a separate, season-by-season map service. Its pool remains evenly divided between Erangel, Miramar, Taego and Rondo, with each map at 25%.
