PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Erangel Map is Getting a Big Visual Update

The PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds site has been updated with a new letter from the producer with some big news for players: the Erangel map is getting a massive visual upgrade to give it "the same level of polish as our more recent maps".
