PUBG Mobile's first major update of the year is here with the release of its latest royale pass. The start of season 11 includes a number of rewards and unlockable in-game items, as well as changes to existing gameplay modes, along with a brand-new map.

Players who purchase the royale pass for 600 UC — the in-game currency that roughly converts to Rs 640 — gain access to the Elite tier of rewards. As you play matches and complete challenge missions, you earn royal pass points that will help unlock levels and their corresponding prizes. Rewards this season include the Silly Chicken Backpack, the Elite Force Set and the Black Rose set of cosmetics that includes skin, airplane and frying-pan styles. There is always the option to play through the royale pass without purchasing anything, but this will get you significantly fewer rewards.

The introduction of the season 11 royale pass also includes the 0.16.5 update. A new mode dubbed Domination is also available. Teams of two, each with four players, are formed. In order to win, a team must capture two of three bases on the map. At the start of a match, only one base is available, and the next will only appear once the first is captured. To go along with this mode is Town, a new map that lets players run through alleyways and buildings.

Other additions include a new vehicle, the Light Snowmobile. You'll only find it spawning in the Vikendi map, and it can carry two players. It's faster than the normal snowmobile but is more susceptible to damage. Another change is the restoration of the Warehouse map to its original version. This map is used for training purposes.
