The folks behind the popular battle royale game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds have been doing a much better job at keeping its community in the ‘know’ lately, which recently resulted in fans learning about a 3rd map arriving at some point during the first half of 2018. Now, the battle royale powers that be have announced that new PUBG crates are coming soon featuring some very, very swanky retro outfits and accessories for the most fashionable of players.

The announcement for the new PUBG crates also includes the details of the latest update coming to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, which is set to arrive on February 22nd on Steam.
