Seasonal events such as the Crazy Chicken Day, Spooky Soiree, and mystery collaborations will run from September to November.

As part of its commitment to community growth, PUBG MOBILE has launched a Campus Ambassador Program in Nigeria and Kenya, enabling students to organize on-campus tournaments with cash prizes, create content, and earn up to $500 per month. Students can also join WOW Map and PDP design contests, giving them the opportunity to showcase their creativity and feature their work in-game.

The Super Smooth graphics option is another breakthrough, offering 50–60fps gameplay with up to 50% less lag, 15% reduced overheating, and optimized power consumption. Download speeds are also faster, improving by up to 200%, making gameplay smoother and more responsive.
