PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was set to debut "something new to events" this weekend: a five to ten person limited-time squad mode named Platoon. Sadly, it's already been cancelled following a "critical error".
"PC Players: Unfortunately, this week's Event Mode has been cancelled due to a critical error," reads a tweet posted by the PUBG Help Twitter . "We apologize for any frustration or disappointment this has caused. Event Mode: Platoon will not be returning next week, but will return at a later date."

Set to run till Sunday evening PDT/the early hours of Monday morning BST, Platoon would've taken place on Erangel whereby two teams (platoons) of 50 players would have faced off. "Each Platoon is comprised of 5 squads, and each squad has 10 players," reads this Steam Community post. "Players in your Platoon, but not in your squad, will have a blue circle above their head. Players in your Platoon, but not in your squad, are marked with a blue circle on the minimap."
A number of prospective Platoon players have since aired their grievances with the cancellation on Fix PUBG campaign earlier this year.
