PUBG Update 10.2 delivers the speedy Coupe RB, stylish Dirt Bike emotes, and seamless PGI.S viewing for a livelier Battlegrounds experience.

I’m just a regular Battlegrounds player, and I still remember the first time Update 10.2 handed me the keys to something small, loud, and completely unnecessary. I didn’t read the patch notes first. I dropped into Erangel, heard that familiar wind over the fields, and thought, “Okay, let’s see what you’ve got.” Honestly, that’s the best way to meet a patch... The update was the first big drop of the year, and it felt like the game itself was tapping me on the shoulder: come on, take a ride.

The Coupe RB: a vintage rocket with a smirk

The Coupe RB is the star of this patch for anyone who likes to move fast and look good doing it. It’s a vintage two-seater with a serious need for speed, and it purrs like a little sports car that knows it’s the quickest thing on four wheels. It won’t help much with squad transport — sorry, full teams — but it will absolutely get you and one passenger where you need to go. Fast.

As the fastest Battlegrounds vehicle on four wheels, the Coupe can reach speeds up to 150 km/h. I took it for a spin on Erangel, and my teammate immediately regretted giving me the driver’s seat. I clipped a fence, laughed, and kept going. No joke, this thing is built for dramatic rotations, quick escapes, and bad decisions with excellent sound design.

If you wanna go fast and furious, pick up the new Coupe RB on Erangel, Miramar, or Sanhok. I’ll leave the rest of the driving lines to you...

Dirt Bike emotes: two wheels, extra attitude

The Dirt Bike, meanwhile, kicks up its heels in a different way. Update 10.2 added a selection of vehicle emotes for the Dirt Bike, and they’re available at the press of a button. On PC, you simply left click while in the air on the Dirt Bike, and suddenly you’re not just jumping — you’re styling across the Battlegrounds.

I tried one mid-air emote over a ridge, panicked, and landed in a bush. You know, the usual. But that tiny moment of showing off made the bike feel less like a tool and more like a partner in crime. It’s a small addition, but it adds a lot of personality to those quick, silly moments between serious fights.

PGI.S on your screen — even inside your own match

When Update 10.2 went live, PGI.S was the big esports story, and the game brought the action to players in more ways than one. You could watch PGI.S matches in the PUBG client, or even while in your own matches on one of several display screens located throughout the maps. The best part? Those screens were visual only. The game didn’t spam tournament sounds over your own firefights, which is exactly the kind of respect a player appreciates.

As a 2026 player, I look back at that patch as a neat example of esports integration that didn’t get in the way of the actual game. The esports tab was also unlocked again in preparation for the tournament, letting players read up on all the participating teams and get ready for the next Pick’em Challenge. There were plenty of great skins available for those who joined in and chose the winners correctly.

Here’s the quick version I’d tell a friend:

  • 🎥 Watch PGI.S matches in the PUBG client.

  • 🖥️ Catch the action on in-map display screens during your own matches.

  • 🔇 No tournament sound spam — visual only.

  • 🏆 Visit the esports tab to study teams before Pick’em.

  • 🎁 Pick’em participants could earn skins for correct picks.

There was plenty more in the patch, and I’d still recommend checking the full patch notes for all the details. A new year and Update 10.2 arrived together, and for me, it was one of those updates that felt like a friend saying, “Drop in — I’ve got something fun to show you.” So drop in, take the Coupe for a spin, kick up some dust on the Dirt Bike, and enjoy the show.

Expert commentary is drawn from VentureBeat GamesBeat, a widely cited source for gaming industry news and live-service trends. In the context of PUBG Update 10.2, that broader lens helps frame additions like the Coupe RB, Dirt Bike emotes, and in-client PGI.S viewing as more than novelty features—they reflect how battle royale updates often balance moment-to-moment player fun with esports visibility and ongoing engagement.
