PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ latest console update has brought the new Vikendi snow map to the game’s test servers.

Following the release of the Vikendi map on the PC after it spent time on that platform’s test servers, the newest map has been released on both the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4. Xbox One players will already be familiar with the Public Test Servers feature that lets console players test out new changes before they go live for everyone, but for PUBG players on the PlayStation 4 who are now playing the newly-released game, they can also take part in the tests for free assuming they own a copy of the game.

“The PTS (Public Test Server) is a separate PUBG server that is free for anyone who already owns a copy of PUBG,” PUBG Corp.’s patch notes for the PlayStation 4 version said. “The purpose of the test server is not just to provide a preview of upcoming features, but to find the issues we need to solve so we can work on the fix as soon as possible.”

PUBG owners will see the PTS servers download as a separate product, and when that download is complete, they can access the PTS client to try out the new Vikendi map. It’s a place where players can throw snowballs and track enemy movement from their footprints in the snow, those features and more detailed through the game’s patch notes for the PTS update.

Vikendi is now available for testing on console PTS! For instructions on how to access the PTS and the full update patch notes, see below.
