PUBG Mobile 4.0 Update: Spooky Soiree, New Modes & 6 Exciting Collabs!

The wait is over—PUBG Mobile Version 4.0 officially drops on September 4, 2025, and it’s one of the most ambitious updates the game has ever seen. What once looked like whispers and leaks has now transformed into a confirmed wave of new modes, revamped systems, and fresh collaborations.

From the Halloween-ready Spooky Soiree mode to the launch of Asymmetric PvP mode, plus new Royale Pass rewards, weapon mechanics, and even a International Star Collab, PUBG Mobile is raising the stakes for both casual and competitive players alike.

So, what exactly makes PUBG 4.0 Update so massive? Let’s break down all the highlights.

 

Spooky Soiree Mode: A Halloween Spectacle

PUBG Mobile 4.0 update's biggest highlight is the Spooky Soiree mode, available on Erangel, Livik, and Rando. At the heart of this seasonal event is the haunted Warithmoor Mansion, packed with cursed loot and festive chaos.

Ghostie & Prankster Ghost

Every player is joined by Ghostie, a loyal spectral companion that evolves into useful forms:

• Ghost Helm: Blocks a fatal shot once.
• Guardian Shield: Deploys a portable barrier.
• Boost: Grants a quick burst of speed.
• Armorer: Repairs vest durability automatically.
• Scan: Reveals tagged enemies nearby.
• Heal: Uses bandages for recovery on its own.
• Floating Balloon: Lifts you into the air and lets you glide to safety.

If you’re eliminated, you return as a Prankster Ghost, capable of exploding near enemies, scanning foes, or shielding teammates until your spirit fades. It keeps the action going even after a knock-out.

 

Phantom Treasure & Mansion Loot

Inside Warithmoor Mansion, Phantom Treasure crates, Soulbind Mirror and Scaredy Ghosts tempt players with high-tier rewards like level 3 gear and Ghost Essence. Opening them requires standing still for several seconds, and it broadcasts your location—making each attempt a high-risk, high-reward gamble.

 

Magic Broom

The Magic Broom is Spooky Soiree’s flashiest ride. As a two-seater vehicle, it can reach speeds up to 120 km/h and unleash sweeping attacks, making it as much a weapon as transport. Stylish but fragile, it’s the ultimate way to travel in haunted fashion.

 

Performing Dead Concert

Another standout attraction is the Performing Dead Concert, a supernatural venue where the battlefield transforms once again into night and fog. On stage, a ghost band plays to a roaring spectral crowd. By staying close to the stage, players fill a progress bar while the audience showers the arena with loot—from standard gear to full airdrop rewards.

Classic Mode Updates: More Realism, More Firepower

Alongside seasonal fun, PUBG 4.0 update makes meaningful tweaks to Classic Mode, ensuring that the battle royale core continues to evolve.

• Mortar Weapon: The star of the update’s arsenal. This heavy explosive can now be carried by a single player and features two firing modes. You can either aim directly at visible targets or call down strikes on distant zones by marking them on the map. 
• Weapon Adjustments: Stocks and foregrips have been fully rebalanced, offering tighter shooting feedback. 
• Realistic Reloading: A subtle but satisfying change—if a magazine swap happens while bullets remain in the chamber, the weapon’s max capacity gains +1. Pistols also receive improved animations that now reflect empty states after being fired dry, enhancing immersion without slowing reload speed.
• Map Expansion: Erangel introduces Lipovka, a seaside park complete with a ferris wheel. 

 

Asymmetric PvP: Predator vs Survivors

Perhaps the boldest addition of 4.0 update arrives on September 26 with the launch of a new Asymmetric PvP mode. Inspired by Dead by Daylight, this mode pits a Predator against a team of four Survivors in a heart-pounding pursuit.

• Predator Goals: Eliminate at least three survivors before they escape. Armed with melee attacks, the Predator can also level up mid-match, unlocking brutal new powers such as a grappling hook to pull victims into range.
• Survivor Goals: Activate five terminals scattered around the map to open the Exit Gate. Survivors can hide in lockers, vault over obstacles, and use limited-use stun guns to temporarily halt the Predator’s chase. Success requires at least three teammates making it out alive.

This cat-and-mouse formula injects a fresh layer of strategy into PUBG Mobile’s lineup, appealing to fans of tense escape gameplay while keeping the competitive balance sharp.

 

WoW 1.0 Officially Launches

After months of testing, World of Wonder (WoW) 1.0 is finally official in PUBG Mobile 4.0 update. This creative expansion empowers players to design, share, and compete in custom game modes.

WoW 1.0 launches with several categories:

• Tournament modes for structured competitive play.
• Mine and Home systems for sandbox-style creativity.
• A wide selection of maps, including Erangel mode, Arena battles, and PUBGM Jumping challenges.

WoW 1.0 Pass

To celebrate the launch, the WoW 1.0 Pass provides players with exclusive rewards—ranging from rare outfits to themed weapon skins. By engaging with the mode, whether building maps or simply playing community creations, players can steadily unlock these collectibles and show off their creative journey.

 

WoW Gift System

The 4.0 update also introduces the WoW Gift System, letting fans support their favorite maps and creators with in-game gifts. Beyond boosting visibility and popularity, these gifts can translate into real-world cash rewards for creators. This creates a dynamic ecosystem where innovation isn’t just celebrated—it’s rewarded, fueling more ambitious projects from the community.

 

Metro Royale Chapter 28

In 4.0 update, survival fans haven’t been left out either. Metro Royale Chapter 28 debuts on September 5 with a big twist: the Warehouse map from Team Deathmatch joins the rotation, enabling close-quarters tactical showdowns in the loot-driven Metro environment. Players can also try 1v1 duels for bragging rights.

A new Ghost Crate brings additional risk-and-reward elements, challenging players to gamble for high-value loot while fending off fierce opposition.

 

Royale Pass A15: Trick or Treats?

The A15 Royale Pass (running September 11 – November 10) arrives just in time for Halloween, wrapping the battlefield in a mix of candy-coated colors and eerie horror vibes. From costumes to weapons, the rewards strike a perfect balance between playful trick and terrifying treat.

This pass features a full lineup of themed outfits that range from whimsical and colorful to dark and menacing, giving players plenty of room to express their seasonal style.

On the outfit side, players can unlock:

• Lv. 1: Hallowed Severance Set
• Lv. 40: Sugarspell Curse Set
• Lv. 100: Aberrant Surgeon Set

Alongside the costumes comes a spread of six vibrant firearm skins—covering fan-favorite weapons: AKM, Win94, MP7, S1897, P1911 and PP19—each wrapped in eerie hues and sugar-sweet designs that make battles feel like Halloween trick-or-treats. To complete the collection, a Halloween-styled UTV skin ensures even your squad rides into battle in spooky fashion.

That’s just the start—check out the complete lineup of haunted goodies in our full article.

 

C9S26: Competitive Season and Firearm Combat Power

With Cycle 9 Season 26 (C9S26) running September 11 – November 10, PUBG Mobile 4.0 introduces the Firearm Combat Power system. Think of it as an “honor ranking” for weapon proficiency—your performance in Ranked Classic Mode and Ultimate Royale will be tracked and ranked both globally and regionally.

For high-skill players, the Path of Glory system adds exclusive rewards for those climbing above Ace tier, ensuring top competitors have more to chase. Meanwhile, casual and mid-tier players can enjoy the new Weekend Joy event, which hands out draw vouchers, rating point bonuses, and double EXP boosts (especially when playing with friends).

 

PUBG Mobile x Kaiju No. 8 Collab: Prize Path & Lucky Spin

PUBG Mobile is teaming up with the hit anime Kaiju No. 8 (September 5–30, 2025), introducing a brand-new Prize Path and Lucky Spin system that let players embody heroes or monsters with striking themed gear.

What makes this crossover stand out is the sheer spectacle it brings. Kaiju No. 8’s larger-than-life battles collide with PUBG Mobile’s survival intensity, letting players step onto the battleground not just as soldiers, but as icons of courage and destruction. Every outfit, from Defense Force uniforms to kaiju-inspired suits, is designed to make you feel part of the anime’s frontline fight.

Prize Path (unlocked with 600 UC) spans 25 levels, featuring milestone rewards such as the Kaiju No. 8 outfit at level 25, along with Kikoru and Kafka suits, a monster-style helmet, backpack, parachute, and Molotov skin.

Lucky Spin comes in two variants: one themed around the Defense Force, the other unleashing monster power with exclusive items like No. 9 and No. 10 suits, Predator Wings vehicle, motorbike, and dune buggy.

New Collaborations and Surprises

PUBG Mobile is no stranger to crossovers, and 4.0 update keeps the tradition alive. On September 25, Spooky Soiree mode will feature a new map boss that fires powerful yellow laser beams. The community is buzzing with speculation: is this the long-awaited Harry Potter crossover hinted at in leaks, or a fresh IP entirely?

Adding to the star power, a collaboration with G-Dragon brings exclusive cosmetics featured by G-Daisy (Petalless Daisy) , giving fans of the K-pop legend another reason to dive in.

 

Home System: Build Your Lunar Castle

PUBG Mobile’s Home System is also receiving a fantastical makeover. Players can now craft their dream base in Lunar Castle style, complete with mystical furniture and atmospheric decor.

New features include:

• Treasure Hunt mini-game inside your home.
• Home Style competition and voting events where players show off designs and earn rewards.

It’s a fresh outlet for creativity, perfectly aligned with the magical theme of this update.
