This was a scheduled maintenance downtime which was announced by the Tenant Games on Pubg Mobile Twitter Handle.
Dev will use this downtime to update servers with new maps and content for this launch.
To be able to play the new Sanhok map players will be asked to update their game versions tomorrow.
People who have not yet been aware of what to expect from new updates, they have a summary of new things coming in PUBG mobile with 0.8.0 updates:
New map: sanhok
In addition to the existing two maps - Erhel and Miramar - PUBG is set to add highly anticipated signature as the third map for mobile classic mode.
The new map is based on tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, and about half of the size is much smaller than the other two maps of the game.
The number of players that started the game will still be 100, so this will be a large concentration of players in the small area from which more guns will be available, faster intense fight, and as a result, faster game.
New vehicles: bulletproof UAZ and muscle car
Some new big vehicles have also been added while driving in the game, which are large and provide better security and performance.
UAZ is a form of SUV that is already present in the game, while the muscle is one of the better-looking vehicles in the car game.
New weapon: QBZ
QBZ is an assault rifle which uses the standard 5.56 mm gunpowder of the game. This will probably replace Scar-l in the figure map.
