PUBG Mobile Update 0.12 Out Now, Brings Zombie: Darkest Night, Spectator Mode, and More
PUBG Mobile update 0.12 is out now for Android and iOS on Google Play and the App Store respectively. This much awaited update to the popular battle royale game brings new modes like Zombie: Darkest Night as well as host of features such as being able to spectate matches of your friends. The PUBG Mobile update 0.12 download size is around 475MB and is having a staged roll out, with users in countries like South Africa and Malaysia reporting on the official PUBG Mobile Discord that they’ve been able to download the update right now. So if you haven’t been able to get the PUBG Mobile update 0.12 just yet, it should show up on your Android or iOS device soon enough.
PUBG Mobile update 0.12 details
This new update comes weeks after Tencent and PUBG Corp announced the PUBG Mobile Club Open 2019. Billed as “the world’s biggest global e-sports venture with $2.5 million in prize pool earnings” its Spring Split Global Finals is slated for Germany this July. With a worldwide user base of 200 million players and 30 million who play daily, this should come as no surprise.
In India though, the PUBG Mobile competitive scene is facing growing pains aplenty.
“50 million gamers play PUBG Mobile in India now, which is the highest,” said Rajdip Gupta, Founder of Cobx Gaming, one of India’s bigger e-sports organisers in conversation with Gadgets 360. “It’s more about how people come together and play PUBG Mobile — casually, there’s no structured way to put a team together. You might have the best player in Malad, the best player in Borivali also, but you don’t know who is the best player in India.”
Furthermore, PUBG Mobile isn’t geared towards e-sports just yet due to the absence of local ranking systems and a proper league structure. Though he remains hopeful.
“If they come up with leagues like Mumbai Premier League for cricket we might find the best team and have them compete against others,” he said. “It might happen since Tencent is spending a lot money on the game. They might have some kind of league because India is the biggest market for them outside of China.”

Rishabh Pant, Ambati Rayudu Named Among India World Cup 2019 Team Standbys
Rishabh Pant and Ambati Rayudu, who were excluded from India’s 15-member squad for World Cup 2019, were named among the standbys on Wednesday. Pace bowler Navdeep Saini also found a place in the list of three back-ups for the mega-event starting in England and Wales on May 30. “Just like ICC Champions Trophy, we have three standbys. Rishabh Pant and Ambati Rayuduare the first and second standbys while Saini is the bowler in the list. So if anyone gets injured, as per requirement, one of the three will be going,” a senior BCCI official told PTI on Wednesday.
Pant and Rayudu’s exclusion from the squad had created quite a stir on Monday. While Sunil Gavaskar called Pant’s omission surprising, the snub to Rayudu was questioned by Gautam Gambhir.
Dinesh Karthik, 33, was given the second wicketkeeper’s slot over the rising 21-year-old star, ending days of speculation over the role.
While Khaleel Ahmed, Avesh Khan and Deepak Chahar will be travelling with the team purely as net bowlers, they can also be drafted in if the management feels so.
“Khaleel, Avesh and Deepak are not designated standbys. In case of bowlers, that possibility is there but when it comes purely to batsmen, it will be either Rishabh or Rayudu,” the official said.
India, ranked number two behind England in one-day games, reached the semi-finals of the 2015 World Cup where they lost to Australia.
India are scheduled to play their opening World Cup match on June 5 against South Africa in Southampton.
India squad:
Virat Kohli (capt), Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, K.L. Rahul, Vijay Shankar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk), Kedar Jadhav, Dinesh Karthik, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami.
