What Happened to PUBG Battlegrounds?
The issue began early on August 22, 2024, after a hotfix was applied to the game. A hotfix is a small update meant to fix bugs or problems in the game. However, this particular update caused a bigger issue. Missions, which are tasks that players need to complete in the game, were not being marked as completed. This problem affected all players on consoles.
Players quickly noticed that their missions were not updating. Some players took to social media to express their frustration. They shared that even after fulfilling the requirements of their missions, the game did not count them as completed. This meant that they did not receive rewards or progress in the game.
The Resolution
The PUBG Battlegrounds team acted quickly to address the problem. After receiving reports from players, they began investigating the issue. By 06:46 UTC, they managed to fix the problem. From that point on, missions started to be completed correctly in the game.

Impact on Players
The issue affected all players who were active between 05:00 UTC and 06:46 UTC on August 22, 2024. This includes players who were in the middle of completing missions or had just started them. The technical glitch meant that any mission progress made during this time was lost. Players had to redo their missions after the problem was resolved.
This situation was frustrating for many, especially for those who had limited time to play. Some players rely on specific windows of time to complete their missions.
