It looks like a clans system coming to Playerunknown's Battlegrounds

Battle royale title Playerunknown's Battlegrounds might be updated with a new clan system soon.

That's according to dataminer PlayerIGN on Twitter (below) - as spotted by Loadout - who has found references to a clan system which will have a title, slogan and a capacity of 20 people maximum. The dataminer also reckons that this might be linked to a new Ranked system.

There's no indication when this will be launching just yet.

Playerunknown's Battlegrounds might have been the game that kicked off the battle royale craze before Fortnite, but the title's playerbase has dipped drastically since its high at the start of 2018. Average monthly user for the release have declined by 82 per cent from then.
