LONDON - November 5th, 2025 - PUBG MOBILE, one of the world’s most popular mobile games, is excited to reveal its Version 4.1 Update. Available until January 5th, players can dive into the Frost Festival with an enchanting new Frosty Funland themed mode packed with playful penguins, snowy adventures, and seasonal surprises. The update also brings major gameplay enhancements, exciting new collaborations, and more, delivering a season of creativity, celebration, and frosty fun like never before.

The Frost Festival returns bigger and brighter than ever in the Version 4.1 Update with Frosty Funland, an all-new themed mode inviting players to explore Penguinville, a bustling snow-covered metropolis built by an enterprising penguin civilization. Forced to migrate from their melting homeland, these ingenious penguins have brought their charm, creativity, and 20th-century-inspired technology to Erangel, Livik, and Vikendi, transforming the maps into lively winter wonderlands. Players can traverse shimmering glaciers and uncover hidden surprises in Penguin Town, encountering a cast of whimsical characters. Among them is the mighty Ninja Penguin, PowNin, the first AI Penguin companion who wields a deadly mix of shuriken techniques, evasive ninja arts, and self-healing sardine snacks, and can be commanded with voice, text, and quick commands in English. Whether skating across trails of glimmering ice on the Penguin Snowmobile or battling through themed trials for exclusive achievements, Frosty Funland delivers a cute, lively, and joyfully chaotic experience for all PUBG MOBILE players to enjoy.

The Frosty Funland Themed Trial in Version 4.1 challenges squads to complete a festive mission under pressure! After unlocking all NPCs, players will earn a Party Mailbox Key to activate the trial in 4-player mode, where they must collect and deliver party invites across the map whilst fending off rivals. Successful teams will unlock a special celebration sequence and an exclusive achievement, marking their triumph in this frosty test of teamwork and endurance.

Celebrate the season in PUBG MOBILE’s Frost Festival Event, starting on 12/12, where festive cheer fills every corner of the battleground. Players can visit Wintercrest Hall in Snowy Vale, a special limited-time gameplay area where holiday tunes play from the Festive Tree, granting generous supply rewards to those who stop by and join the celebration. Across both themed and classic Erangel and Livik maps, buildings sparkle with wintry decorations and snow-covered charm, and select vehicles now feature Winter Vehicle Speakers that spread joyful melodies as players race through the frosty landscape. Players can also join the New Year Countdown Firework event to light up the skies in celebration, and participate in the Frosty Funland charity campaign, where every interaction with penguin NPCs, completed run, or act of helping penguins remove oil stains contributes to a global milestone. Once players collectively reach the goal, PUBG MOBILE will donate USD 100,000 to support penguin conservation in South Africa and South America, with all participants receiving an exclusive digital charity certificate.

Classic mode gets a festive makeover in Version 4.1 ahead of PMGC 2025, with various gameplay elements now featuring PMGC-themed visuals.

Squads that check in together can also earn the Crown of Glory, a powerful item that restores Health and Energy for themselves and nearby teammates.

Elsewhere, the Version 4.1 update also introduces a host of enhancements to Classic Mode gameplay from November 6th.
