PUBG x IVE Collaboration Teased: Release Date and What We Know
PUBG has hinted at a new crossover with K-pop group IVE, but the release date and in-game items remain under wraps.
PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS is teasing a new collaboration with K-pop girl group IVE.
On October 21, 2026, the game's official X account shared a mysterious promotional image featuring all six IVE members, alongside the message "Ready to dive in?"
The teaser features Gaeul, Yujin, Rei, Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo standing together in coordinated black-and-white outfits, facing a ruined building surrounded by glowing pink and purple hearts. While the image offers a first look at the collaboration's theme, PUBG has yet to reveal what players can expect in-game.
When Will the PUBG x IVE Collaboration Begin?
There is currently no confirmed release date for PUBG x IVE. Some fan accounts have suggested that the collaboration could arrive in November 2026, but PUBG has not officially announced a launch date or event schedule.
The teaser was posted by PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, the PC and console game. There has been no confirmation that the collaboration will also appear in PUBG Mobile.
What Skins and Items Could Be Included?
PUBG has not yet revealed any IVE-themed skins, emotes, or other in-game items. However, previous K-pop collaborations offer an idea of what might be coming.
The game's past partnerships with NewJeans in 2024 and aespa in 2025 introduced character outfits, dance emotes, and themed in-game content. The aespa collaboration also returned in April 2026.
Similar items could appear in the IVE collaboration, including outfits inspired by the six members or emotes featuring the group's choreography. For now, these are possibilities rather than confirmed features. Item prices and availability also remain unknown.
More details are expected from PUBG's official channels, including the full item lineup, release schedule, and any accompanying events.
Editor's Comment
After NewJeans and aespa, IVE looks set to become the next K-pop group to join PUBG. The biggest question now is how much of the collaboration will go beyond cosmetic items.
A themed event or in-game stage would make this crossover more interesting than another collection of outfits and emotes.
