PUBG Mobile is running a dense slate of licensed collaborations and league events through fall 2026. The PMJL Season 6 Phase 2 final week is set for October 10 and 11, with a CRAFTGROUND challenge connecting the Phase 1 top five teams to the Phase 2 field.
PUBG Mobile's summer 2026 run is built around collaborations and a regional league. Version 4.5 arrived on July 9 with a Naruto Shippuden collaboration that recreates the Hidden Leaf Village, Hokage Rock, and the Valley of the End on Erangel, Livik, and Sanhok, adds ninjutsu including Rasengan and Chidori, and stages a Nine-Tailed Fox boss battle. A giveaway offers over USD 600 in free items, an animated short comes from Studio Pierrot, and offline events were planned in multiple countries including a Jakarta celebration from July 10 to 16. A separate Spider-Man: Brand New Day collaboration, tied to the Sony Pictures film, started July 30 with a Central Square area and CRAFTGROUND support, running until September 2.
Vehicle and VTuber tie-ups followed. A Ferrari partnership began July 10, adding the Roma, Purosangue, LaFerrari, and SF90 XX Spider as drivable vehicles with exclusive liveries, plus an in-map display of the Scuderia Ferrari HP Formula 1 car, through September 7. On the VTuber side, a collaboration with Nijisanji members Fuwa Minato, Ibrahim, and Lauren Iroas started August 12 and ran to September 11, offering costume skins, voice cards, and Pubu Niku items through gacha or coin exchange. A second promotion with Nijisanji VTuber Kuzuha runs from September 9 to November 6, with Kuzuha-designed skins, weapon skins, voice cards, and a hoverboard, some gacha-exclusive.
On the competitive side, DOPENESS won the PUBG MOBILE JAPAN LEAGUE SEASON 6 Phase 1 championship on June 5, taking a 3 million yen prize and a spot in the PUBG Mobile World Cup 2026, part of the Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris in August. The league moves on with PMJL SEASON6 Phase2: KRAFTON JAPAN will hold a CRAFTGROUND challenge in which the Phase 1 top five (DOPENESS, HAO, REJECT, REIGNITE, and KINOTROPE gaming) compete on parkour and puzzle-solving map clear times, with team footage on the PMJL YouTube channel on September 19 and the final week running October 10 to 11.
