PUBG maps compared: Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok, Vikendi and more

How each PUBG map plays and which weapons and tactics suit it.

Game Respawned Editorial TeamUpdated October 28, 2026

Every PUBG map plays differently. Here is what to expect on each.

Erangel (8×8)

The original. A mix of towns, fields and forests, with the Military Base and Pochinki as famous hot drops. Balanced for every weapon type.

Miramar (8×8)

Desert and hills with little cover. Long-range rifles and snipers shine. Carry a good scope.

Sanhok (4×4)

A small jungle map with fast games and constant close-range fights. SMGs and shotguns are strong.

Vikendi

A snow map where footprints can show where players went.

Taego, Deston and Rondo (8×8)

Newer maps with their own systems: Taego has Comeback BR, Deston has skyscrapers with ascenders, and Rondo has a large city and destructible areas.

Which to play

Learn Erangel first because it teaches every part of PUBG. Play Sanhok to practise close fights, and Miramar to practise long-range shooting.
