PUBG Mobile Celebrates 8th Anniversary with Godzilla Collaboration

PUBG Mobile, developed by LightSpeed & Quantum Studio, a division of Tencent Games, in March 2018, is the on-the-go version of the hit video game, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG). PUBG Mobile quickly became one of the most popular mobile games in the world, letting players engage in a massive multiplayer battle royale experience on their own smartphones. When rounds start, up to 100 players are parachuted onto an island where they fight to be the last one standing. The map gets smaller as time progresses, which forces players to confront each other. In addition to simulated combat, much of PUBG Mobile’s gameplay consists of scavenging strategically. Players must find weapons, gear, and vehicles all while planning tactical movements.

One way that PUBG Mobile has managed to stay relevant is through its frequent partnerships and collaborations, which often feature special in-game rewards. Some famous PUBG Mobile collabs include Mission: Impossible Fallout, with themed items like Ethan Hunt’s outfit, Resident Evil 2, with costume sets, weapons, and enemies from the game, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, with Godzilla-themed skins and in-game events, and many more.

PUBG Mobile’s latest collab began recently, featuring Godzilla again in honor of the game’s 8-year anniversary. The collaboration was announced today via a post on the game’s official X (formerly Twitter) account. The post advertises the new “costumes, sets, and items inspired by Godzilla, Burning Godzilla, King Ghidorah, and Mechagodzilla.”

The game also released a trailer for the special collaboration event, sharing the video via another post on X.

PUBG Mobile is available for free via the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The event is scheduled to last until May 6, 2025, and is currently live.
