Producer(s)	Panda

The PGRU v3 is an upcoming set of lists that ranks the best players in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate from March 1st-June 13th, 2022. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the competitive scene, the rankings will be split into two separate lists - for North America and Europe - as well as a shortlist of Japanese players to watch. The methodology remained similar to the cancelled Spring 2020 PGRU, with the exception of not having a proper tournament tier system.

Discussion on a new ranking began following the return of competitive play in mid-2021. On November 19th, PGStats announced that the rankings were to resume on January 1st, 2022, and would be split into three separate rankings. However, the starting date was postponed due to the rising cases of COVID-19. On February 2nd, 2022, PGstats announced their plans on setting a new start date to March 1st and that they would be monitoring the state of the pandemic before giving a final confirmation on February 17th. Although the date came and passed without a confirmation, the season nevertheless began on March 1st with Smash Ultimate Summit 4 that week. The season concluded on June 13th, 2022 following the end of Battle of BC 4 and Maesuma TOP 8.

Area 51

Hours before they began unveiling the regular top 50 rankings, PGStats released a list of players who most closely missed the cut for the PGRU v3 NA top 50, known as "Area 51." They were unranked between each other, and as such are all considered to be effectively ranked #51.
