G-DRAGON PUBG Mobile Collaboration: Release Date, Rewards, & More

KRAFTON has announced a collaboration between its battle royale titles PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS and PUBG Mobile and G-DRAGON of BIGBANG. This marks the first crossover with a music artist for both versions of PUBG, so this month of September 2025 is significant for both gaming and K-pop fans.

Rollout Schedule and What to Expect

Rollout will be staged on PC, console, and mobile. It will roll out starting with PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS on PC on September 10, console on September 18, and PUBG Mobile on September 19. This rollout will provide staggered content drops – to players on each platform.

There has not been a definitive announcement of features yet, but there are already leaks and teasers that hint at a few things:

Exclusive items – G-DRAGON skins, weapon wraps, lobby themes, and perhaps emotes or music associated with him.
Special missions and events – Limited time tasks with rewards for completing them.
Login rewards and boosts – Cosmetics and boosts for players that log in first and complete the events.

The initial teaser was released on August 31 at G-DRAGON’s concert in Las Vegas. The clip was like an advertisement for PUBG’s G-DRAGON launch and when fans first saw it after the show they erupted on social media. There is a plan for an “offline” celebration event in Seongsu, Seoul and KRAFTON teased that there would also be more global fan events too.
