As per the tweet, the new map will go live on PC on July 13, so it's already live on PC, but console users will have to wait a week until July 21 for the map to come out. So if you play on the Xbox Series S/X, PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5, you will need to wait a week.

The official PUBG: Battlegrounds YouTube channel also shared a trailer for the new map, Deston, which gives players a rundown on what they can expect from the map. The approximately three-minute-long trailer is filled to the brim with action. The tag line, where "no squad has gone before" pops up, and it looks to be an experience unlike on any of the other PUBG maps.

PUBG: Battlegrounds - What's new in Deston

The new map, Deston, introduces a host of new features. The first of which is the ascenders. These are mechanized ziplines which can help players get to better vantage points. In addition to the ascenders, you also have new vehicles, like the Pillar Car, and a lot of new weapons as well, like the MP9 SMG and a 012 shotgun.

Deston is a mix of urban and wild environments, with large city blocks, mixed with plenty of vegetation. There's also a lot of water around, Ripton, one of the areas on the new map, is largely submerged in water. The new map will also feature the tallest skyscraper in PUBG yet.

Facebook To Allow Users To Add Up To 5 Profiles Tied To One Account

Meta Platforms Inc revealed that its flagship social media platform Facebook is introducing a new feature that will allow users to maintain up to five profiles tied to a single account. So far, Facebook has only allowed users to maintain a single profile linked to their account on the platform; but that’s about to change. 

Facebook to let users create up to five profiles: How will it work?

As per the company, Facebook users will be able to create four additional profiles tied to their accounts. This is in addition to the already existing profile users have on Facebook. The reason behind this move is to let people use those additional profiles for different purposes – personal, work, business, entertainment, and more. Users will be able to switch between their profiles in just a few taps.

Facebook spokesperson Leonard Lam told TechCrunch, “to help people tailor their experience based on interests and relationships, we’re testing a way for people to have more than one profile tied to a single Facebook account.” 

Additional profiles don’t have the mandate to include the user’s real name, as is the case with the primary profile on Facebook. As long as the user name is unique and doesn’t use any numbers or special characters, users can choose what they like for the additional profiles. However, the main profile will continue to use the real name of the user.

The company says that these additional profiles “must continue to follow” Facebook’s rules. They are still subject to Facebook’s policies and they can’t misrepresent your identity or impersonate other people. Additionally, if you receive any violation on an additional profile, your account as a whole will be affected. 

Facebook says that this rule will prevent people from abusing the new feature. If someone is flagged for repeatedly violating company policies, Facebook’s systems will recognise this behaviour and take the required action. This may include removing a single profile or banning a user’s account altogether.

Facebook’s additional profiles feature is currently undergoing testing with select users. There’s no information regarding when this feature will roll out to all users.
