PUBG Madison

PUBG Madison is a Wisconsin-based AAA game-development studio operating as PUBG Madglory, LLC within PUBG Studios and KRAFTON. Established in late 2017 as part of PUBG Corporation’s global development expansion, the team works on multiplayer action-shooter development, live-service support, world building, and production technology for the PUBG franchise.

The studio has contributed to PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS through map and environment work, live-service features, and remastering. Its credited work includes Karakin, Haven, and Deston; remasters of Erangel and Sanhok; Loot Truck mechanics; and the formal Training Mode map. The team’s capabilities span battle-royale mechanics, first- and third-person shooter design, map architecture, technical art, gameplay and systems engineering, multiplayer infrastructure, and Unreal Engine development.

Development and production

Alongside full-cycle AAA development and co-development, PUBG Madison supports level design, environmental art, map remastering, performance capture, and cross-platform publishing and go-to-market operations. Its dedicated motion-capture production capability supports in-game cinematics, weapon handling, character movement, and stunt performance.

The studio has expanded from work on core PUBG environments into lead development. In 2026, KRAFTON and PUBG Madison announced PUBG: DED.NET, a standalone atmospheric first-person multiplayer shooter with run-based roguelite progression, set in an alternate-1990s Cascadia within the broader PUBG universe.

Corporate context

PUBG Madison operates under the legal entity PUBG Madglory, LLC. The entity traces part of its history to MadGlory, a gaming-services developer acquired by PUBG Corporation in 2018, while the Madison game-development studio itself was founded in 2017. The studio remains active, with ongoing recruitment and live-service work for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS.
