PUBG for PC received patch 22 yesterday, which introduced a new ranking system inspired in part by the game’s mobile version. Also included in the patch is a new anti-cheat system, wheel-style quick select menus for healing and throwable items, and the return of map selection.
The new ranking system offers players eight ranks from Bronze to Grand Master to move through. Ranks are assigned based on earned Rank Points, with players being assigned their first rank after completing 10 placement matches. Players will then move up or down in the system as they play based upon their current Rank Points, which will be awarded according to in-game performance.
