PUBG just dropped a big collaboration with one of the most popular K-pop groups, New Jeans. It is an unlikely collaboration, but they have previously done this before with their PUBG X Blackpink collaboration, which had massive success. The update brings several new cosmetics and an in-game event for everyone to enjoy. Here are all the details!
PUBG X NewJeans Event Schedule
The NewJeans collaboration update goes live for PC players on June 12, 2024, but console players must wait until June 20, 2024, to join the event. There are numerous weekly-scheduled events throughout the event, which might make the length of the collaboration unclear. However, the PUBG X NewJeans Tokens, which are the premium tokens you can buy for the event, expire on July 15, 2024, and July 23, 2024, for PC and consoles, respectively.
PUBG X NewJeans Game Updates
The collaboration brings in a new truck stage available on the starting islands of Erangel, Miramar, Vikendi, Taego, Deston, and Rondo, basically all the maps in PUBG. You can perform all the new emotes and interact with the stage to earn some rewards. Since the stage is in the starting islands (the lobby before the match starts), you can always perform emotes and start the music video to enjoy the show in every match. The event is available in normal matches, ranked, and casual modes.
Apart from the starting island stage, the school in Taego has been completely transformed into a PUBG X NewJeans stage. You can even find PUBG X NewJeans music stores with jukeboxes playing their songs. NewJeans-themed buses, billboards, and even rabbits are also scattered throughout the Taego map.
As for cosmetics, there are a total of 19 items you can craft using the new PUBG X NewJeans Tokens unlocked at Special Crafting, such as costume sets, weapon skins, sprays, and a lot more.
As for freebies, you can get some cool PUBG X NewJeans Nameplate, Cool Lemon Spray, and a PUBG X NewJeans Event Loot Cache for just emoting and participating in the event stage on the starting island before the match.
The store runs a special discount of up to 80% that includes all the Loot Cache Packs and Emote Packs. So, if you ever want to get some exclusive NewJeans cosmetic items, you should act now before the event ends! If you have friends playing on different platforms, you can cross-play once the event goes live, but since the event doesn’t go live at the same time, you might have some problems.
