The Frost Festival returns bigger and brighter in PUBG MOBILE’s Version 4.1 Update with Frosty Funland, an all-new themed mode where players explore Penguinville, a vibrant snow metropolis built by an inventive penguin civilization. Spanning Erangel, Livik, and Vikendi, the maps transform into festive winter wonderlands filled with surprises, from shimmering glaciers to quirky penguin characters — including PowNin, the game’s first AI Penguin companion who can fight, heal, and respond to player commands.

Players can also join the Frosty Funland Themed Trial, a 4-player mission where squads race to deliver party invites and unlock exclusive achievements.

The celebrations continue with the Frost Festival Event starting December 12, featuring snowy decorations, music-filled Winter Vehicle Speakers, and the New Year Countdown Firework event. Adding heart to the festivities, players can take part in a charity campaign supporting penguin conservation — with PUBG MOBILE pledging USD 100,000 once the global milestone is reached.

Get Ready for PMGC 2025 in Classic Mode

Classic mode gets a festive makeover in Version 4.1 ahead of PMGC 2025, with various gameplay elements now featuring PMGC-themed visuals. Players can explore the PMGC Venue in Erangel and Livik, with a special photo spot where interacting grants a Champion Pack filled with supplies. Squads that check in together can also earn the Crown of Glory, a powerful item that restores Health and Energy for themselves and nearby teammates.

Elsewhere, the Version 4.1 update also introduces a host of enhancements to Classic Mode gameplay from November 6th. Firearms receive significant adjustments, including gradual long-range damage drop-off for rifles, low ammo alerts, and enhanced combat sound effects for greater tactical awareness and realism. Explore the all-new Boatyard area on Erangel, packed with new Wilderness pickups and updated in-match supply shops. Meanwhile, a new Loot Truck system spawns heavy trucks along looped routes that drop crates based on the damage they take, offering fresh and fun strategic options to give you the upper hand in battle and allowing players even more chances to secure valuable supplies.

New Season Kicks Off

The Version 4.1 Update ushers in Cycle 9 Season 27, introducing fresh updates across Classic, Casual, and Ultimate Royale modes, along with a new Firearm Combat Power event. Players can also enjoy the return of Crazy Chicken Day every Friday and weekend, featuring team bonuses like Ranked Rating Protection, Double Earnings, and Lucky Chicken Mate missions with rewards including weapon trials and cash prizes.

From November 27, 2025, to January 1, 2026, the Ranked Arena Event adds new competitive modes — Team Deathmatch (Warehouse & Hangar), Assault (The Ruins), and Domination (Town) — with tier rewards and an exclusive title for the top 1,000 players in each region.

Meanwhile, Metro Royale Chapter 29 enhances gameplay with new Snow Crates on Classic maps, customisable 1v1 match settings, collectible items, and updated Command Post gifting systems, allowing players to exchange gifts and maintain connections even after reaching maximum favorability.

Tis the Season to be Frosty in Home Mode

The Version 4.1 Update gives PUBG MOBILE’s Home mode a wintry refresh with the new Polar Wonderland and Esports Room Home Styles, introducing fun interactive objects like the Slide, Merry-Go-Round, and Electric Guitar with exclusive tunes. Players can now enjoy enhanced customisation tools such as guide planes for object alignment, editable Home button layouts, and the ability to delete purchased blueprints. The returning Parking Lot Gameplay lets players showcase vehicles, earn Parking Tokens in friends’ lots, and redeem them for exclusive rewards. Additional updates include a Polar Wonderland Craftsman’s Pass, themed Home Lucky Spin, and new Mysterious Merchant crates.

Meanwhile, the PUBG MOBILE Hub transforms into a festive winter wonderland, complete with a new Game Table for mini-games, weekly missions, and exclusive rewards.
