by · Inside Sport India

KRAFTON Is set to bring new game of PUBG franchise. PUBG: Blindspot Release Date, Global Start Date, and More.

The PUBG universe is expanding in an unexpected direction. While fans have spent years mastering the art of the long-range sniper shot and high-speed vehicular combat in third-person, the franchise is about to pivot. Developers ARC Team and PUBG Corporation have officially pulled back the curtain on PUBG: Blindspot, a title that swaps the massive scale of Battle Royale for tight, tactical, top-down combat.

PUBG: Blindspot Release Date and Time

Breaking away from the 100-player survival formula, Blindspot is a 5v5 tactical shooter. By shifting to a bird’s-eye view, the game emphasizes squad positioning, line-of-sight management, and rapid-fire decision-making over traditional twitch-aiming. It represents a bold experiment for the brand, bringing the gritty aesthetic of the original game into a more controlled, competitive environment.

Players won’t have to wait long to get their hands on this new experience. PUBG: Blindspot is set to launch into Early Access on February 5, 2026. Because the game utilizes a global release structure on Steam, players in the Western Hemisphere will actually be able to jump in during the late hours of February 4.

To ensure your squad is ready the moment the servers go live, here are the confirmed start times across major regions:

  • Indian Standard Time (IST) – 10:30 AM (Feb 5)
  • Pacific Time (PT): 9:00 PM (Feb 4)
  • Central Time (CT): 11:00 PM (Feb 4)
  • Eastern Time (ET): 12:00 AM (Feb 5)
  • Greenwich Mean Time (GMT): 5:00 AM (Feb 5)
  • Australian Eastern Time (AET): 4:00 PM (Feb 5)

At launch, PUBG: Blindspot will be exclusive to PC via Steam. While the community is already buzzing about potential console ports for PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S, the developers are currently focusing their efforts on the Early Access PC phase to refine the 5v5 balance.
