PUBG Mobile is one of the hottest mobile games around right now, and this week it's getting a major update with several new features.

One of the most notable new features in PUBG Mobile version 0.6.0 is first-person perspective mode, which lets you play your game through the eyes of your character rather than from a behind-the-back view. This is a popular perspective in traditional console games and is available in standard PUBG, so it's nice to see the feature arrive in PUBG Mobile.

Also included in the update to PUBG Mobile 0.6.0 is a new Arcade Mode: Mini-Zone, which drops 100 players into a smaller than normal circle and adds triple the number of weapons typically available. This mode should result in much faster, more aggressive games.

Other notable new features in this PUBG Mobile update include an armory for checking out weapon stats, all-new weapon finishes, emotes, and a Royale Pass that'll task you with completing daily and weekly missions to earn points and grow your rank. Completing a certain number of missions each will get you additional crates with items.

Here's the full changelog for PUBG Mobile 0.6.0, which is now rolling out on Android and iOS:
