Announced via Steam, this new mode is part of the Fix PUBG campaign that was announced earlier this month and aims to make PUBG into a "better, more stable, and fairer game."This new training mode will allow players to practice "all aspects of PUBG, from driving the game's various vehicles around the island's race tracks, to practicing parachute landings on scattered targets, to mastering the prefect peek shot."There will be 800m, 400m, and a "Special 1k" shooting range, along with free targets that are both stationary and mobile.The training mode will also allow you to practice parachuting, throwing grenades, melee combat, parkour, CQC and much more.Dave Osei, Senior Designer on the PUBG Madison team responsible for this new mode, shared some thoughts on this new addition to PUBG.Osei mentioned that this mode was "designed from the beginning to have a living map - with room to introduce new areas as well as ideas players want to see implemented in the future." He continued, "We wanted to go beyond what players were asking for, so we didn’t want the map to be just a shooting range, but an open, living map where players can test a variety of skills to their heart’s content."Dave Curd, World Team Lead on the PUBG Madison team, says he's "most proud of all the sweet ramps we've added to the environment. Not all vehicles work on all ramps, so you will need to experiment to find the best car (or bike) for the job, and remember- hold spacebar to backflip!"As mentioned previously, PUBG's training mode is scheduled to launch in September, although there is no word on if/when it will arrive on Xbox or mobile, or if they will all launch simultaneously.Just yesterday, it was announced that PUBG was leaving Xbox One Game Preview and will be launching its 1.0 version on September 4, 2018, which will see War Mode and the Sanhok map being added to the console version.
