Contributed ongoing English to Traditional Chinese localization for PUBG: Battlegrounds through SYGYZY Information Services, working across regular game updates for one of the most influential battle royale games ever made, developed by KRAFTON. Handled both patch notes and in-game UI strings across multiple update cycles, ensuring new content, weapon additions, map changes, and gameplay mechanic updates read clearly and naturally for the Traditional Chinese-speaking player base.

Live service localization is a different discipline from localizing a single game release. Turnaround windows are tight, content arrives in batches, and every new string needs to stay consistent with the existing terminology established across years of prior updates. Maintained glossary consistency and worked within the localization pipeline to ensure each update landed accurately and on schedule.

Originally released in early access in March 2017, PUBG sold over 75 million copies before going free-to-play in January 2022, making it one of the best-selling games of all time. The game reached an all-time peak of over 3.25 million concurrent Steam players, and continues to maintain a substantial active player base globally to this day.
