Night Mode
The unpurged images of day recede
Erangel will get a new night mode, which the developers describe as alternating 'between day and night randomly in Classic Mode'.
Since the new addition will raise visibility concerns, night vision goggles will spawn naturally in buildings along with other loot items.
The developers will also introduce new buildings, trees, and covers to make the map more fun to play during the night.

Spectator Mode
Death makes you all-seeing in PUBG Mobile
The current Spectate Mode, in PUBG Mobile, allows players to watch their partners in duos or squads play, even after they have been killed.
The new Spectator Mode will give players the option to watch their opponents play as well.
However, it remains unclear whether this mode allows communication with surviving members since they could potentially see the opponent's movements and forewarn team-mates.

All the other changes this update brings
The update will see Halloween themed additions keeping in tune with the season. Notably, competitors Fortnite has also tapped into the Halloween fever to increase popularity.
The settings panel will be improved to let players toggle quickly and switch between scopes, customize buttons and adjust game brightness.
The performance improvement addresses connectivity, and lag issues which occur when players encounter enemies from afar.
