PUBG Ranked Season 44 begins with Update 44.1, bringing a new P90 weapon-skin reward, a Ranked leaderboard reset and tougher achievement requirements for Platinum and higher ranks. PC received the season on November 4, 2026, while console players get it with the November 12 update.
If you’ve just finished Season 43, the first thing to check is your final tier. The rewards for that season are separate from the new P90 skin, and Ranked has its own map pool rather than following the weekly Normal Match schedule.
When does PUBG Ranked Season 44 start?
Ranked Season 44 starts after Update 44.1 live-server maintenance. KRAFTON’s planned PC downtime ran November 4 from 00:00 to 08:30 UTC; console downtime is scheduled for November 12 from 01:00 to 09:00 UTC. Those times are in GMT for UK players. Server maintenance can take longer than planned, so treat the end of each window as an estimate.
The season change resets the Ranked leaderboard. You can check your final Season 43 tier in Career, then look for the previous season’s rewards through Inventory and Edit Profile once the new season begins on your platform.
How do you get the PUBG Ranked Season 44 P90 reward?
The P90 is the headline weapon skin for Ranked Season 44, and KRAFTON lists it as a permanent tier reward. It’s not a skin everyone receives just for logging in. The patch announcement doesn’t provide a full Season 44 reward-by-tier table, so check the in-game Ranked reward screen for the tier you need.
KRAFTON has changed the minimum achievement requirements for Platinum and higher ranks. Rather than using an old season’s promotion numbers, check the current Ranked screen to see what your next tier requires.
What rewards do you get from Ranked Season 43?
Be careful not to mix up the two seasons. The reward table in the patch notes belongs to Season 43, which has just ended. It includes PUBG ID emblems, Ranked weapon and parachute skins, medals and, for some higher tiers, animated profile items. The new P90 is a Season 44 reward.
Crystal and Diamond gain animated tier emblems and their additional medals. Master and Survivor tiers include animated nameplates as well as the other applicable tier rewards. Those prizes reflect your Season 43 final tier, not your new PUBG Ranked Season 44 placement.
KRAFTON states that Ranked weapon skins, parachute skins and medals are permanent. Other items, including profile decorations, remain usable for a single Ranked season and are withdrawn after the next season concludes and maintenance begins. Don’t mistake a temporary emblem or nameplate for a permanent reward.
Does PUBG Ranked Season 44 reset your rank?
KRAFTON explicitly confirms a leaderboard reset when Update 44.1 goes live. It doesn’t give a detailed new calibration formula or a number showing exactly how each player’s matchmaking rating changes. A leaderboard reset alone doesn’t tell you where you’ll place after your first new-season matches.
If you’re tracking a Season 43 personal best, open the Career page before drawing conclusions about your previous result. The interface also separates your final tier, earned rewards and the new season’s standings, so it’s worth checking all three after maintenance.
Which maps can you play in PUBG Ranked Season 44?
Ranked uses four maps, each with a 25% share in the rotation: Erangel, Miramar, Taego and Rondo. That’s a different service from Normal Matches, where some maps switch each week depending on your region and platform.
The 25% figure describes the scheduled map pool over matches. It doesn’t guarantee one of each map in your next four games. Deston, Karakin and other rotating Normal Match maps aren’t automatically part of Ranked.
What changes on PC versus console?
The Ranked rules and rewards announced for Update 44.1 apply to the patch on both platforms, but the rollout dates aren’t the same. PC players entered PUBG Ranked Season 44 on November 4. Console players need to wait for the planned November 12 maintenance before the new season and Season 43 reward delivery become available.
If the new season or reward screen hasn’t appeared on console yet, remember that consoles are scheduled to receive Update 44.1 eight days after PC. That platform difference is worth checking before assuming your rewards are missing.
