PUBG MOBILE has launched Version 4.7, a winter update for the free-to-play mobile battle royale that runs until January 12th 2027. According to a release, the headline additions are the Norse-inspired Arctic Chronicles themed mode, a lightweight companion app called PUBG MOBILE FLASH and a deep freeze for Erangel.
Arctic Chronicles reworks parts of Pochinki, Rozhok and Mansion with Norse-style architecture, while the colossal Ancient Beast looms over Erangel. Players shoot down two Sealing Towers held by the beast, then activate the pedestals inside to restore the seals. After that, they can enter the creature through its open mouth. Combat is disabled in that shared space, and Hero’s Medal holders can claim a themed Pegasus mount there.
Glyph Abilities are passive skills, from faster healing and reloading to better supply detection. Each player gets a random one at the start of a match, and more turn up at Glyph Pedestals or in loot crates. The Aurora Pegasus can fly after a double jump. The Fanged Wolf Spirit, summoned with the Oath Seal item, follows manual or voice commands to scout, attack, fetch supplies, guard, heal and rescue downed teammates. Fan favourite Ninja Penguin PowNin also returns from November 19th, now with an Umbrella Blade that blocks enemy fire.
A lightweight app on November 13th
The release calls PUBG MOBILE FLASH a new official lightweight app, due November 13th. It has a smaller initial download, simplified lobby and resource displays, and more control over downloads and device storage. Players keep their existing PUBG MOBILE accounts and can team up with friends across both apps. The release says more details are coming soon. The main game remains free on the App Store and Google Play.
Erangel Subzero from December 3rd
In the release’s story, an experiment goes wrong and Tythonic satellites crash onto Erangel, releasing cryogenic gas that changes the climate and the Blue Zone. Satellite Crashes strike five times a match, creating smaller Blue Zones and dropping cold-weather gear such as the Thermal Protection Suit, which shields its wearer from Blue Zone damage until its durability runs out.
New items include the BZ Grenade, which makes its own small Blue Zone, the Liquid Nitrogen Bottle, which replaces the Molotov Cocktail, and Snow Mist Ammo for the Grenade Launcher. A Snowboard arrives on Vikendi, while the Snowmobile and Snowbike give players new ways to cross Erangel.
Classic Mode, collaborations and festive events
Classic Mode gets Staged Reload, which lets an interrupted empty-magazine reload pick up where it left off, plus vehicle camera fixes, a lighter and faster Med Kit and a new fishing feature. A themed makeover celebrates the PUBG MOBILE Global Championship (PMGC) 2026.
Godzilla returns from November 20th to January 12th 2027 with sets inspired by Godzilla, Burning Godzilla, King Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla. A Bentley collaboration also starts on November 20th, and the Ferrari SF-25 is available in World of Wonder from November 26th to December 16th. The Frost Festival Playground opens December 12th. On December 31st at 20:00 local server time, a New Year Countdown appears in the sky, with fireworks at midnight.
World of Wonder, Home Mode and Metro Royale
World of Wonder, the game’s creator-focused mode, adds 35 new Brainrot characters, the Avalanche Escape area from December 10th and a hide-and-seek variant called Paint and Seek. The release also details a revenue share for eligible creators whose maps draw players through exclusive sharing links. Home Mode adds the Frosted Splendor Home Style, and Home Competition submissions are open until November 28th for players with at least 200 Home Prosperity.
Metro Royale gets Seal City, a 1.8 x 1.8 km PvE map that players can run alone or with up to five teams. It has 20 enemies across four tiers, including three bosses. The Fame level cap rises from 30 to 45, and U-Chapter 0 runs from November 13th 2026 to January 12th 2027.
Season 33 and Royale Pass A22 also arrive, and Cyber Week offers limited-time deals from November 16th to December 13th. The release adds that Bluetooth headphone latency has been cut by up to 60% on some headphones running Android 16 and above.
