Metro Royale isn't like your standard Battle Royale, and it is like nothing PUBG Mobile players have seen before, featuring all-new gameplay, and a new way to win, to name but a few changes.

First off, PUBG Mobile Metro Royale's win condition is different. The player who makes their way to an extraction point first will win the match.

Metro Royale introduces an "independent structure" of battle, with its own item and growth system. Players are required to select their loadout before entering a match, and all Metro Royale items are stored in a specific inventory.

You can choose which items you want to take with you in your next match of Metro Royale from your inventory, or even exchange them for Metro Cash to purchase other items.

Even medical items will need to be prepared before entering a match, and supplies in each match will be scarce. The maps are also filled with monsters in case you were unsure.

If you are able to get to an extraction point, you will also keep the items you've scavenge to better prepare yourself for the next match. If you get eliminated from the match or fail to return, you will lose all the supplies you brought with you. This makes Metro Royale a high-stakes affair for PUBG Mobile players.

Lastly, new items specific for Metro Royale are added to the game, such as Night Vision Goggles, a Night Vision Scope, an M203 Grenade Launcher and more.
