The slight delay could be due to some issues relating to the server. Developers at PUBG Mobile Lite haven’t addressed the issue, but it’s likely that the update will be available within a few hours. People who update the title from within the game settings should note that the update takes a bit longer to arrive than downloading the game directly from the application store.  

With the new PUBG Mobile Lite Season 8 update, players can expect the addition of new tier rewards and a bunch of new content. As part of the update, players will also get a number of outfits, weapon skins and more.
