PUBG Mobile celebrates its first birthday with anniversary rewards and more

August 19, 2025

To celebratePUBG Mobile’sfirst birthday, Tencent Games and PUBG Corp. today announced a new version of the game that includes several in-game goodies and enhancements.

On the sillier side, the 0.11.5 update lets players hold birthday parties with fireworks on Spawn Island. Players can also find randomly-spawned cakes while playing a match and open collected crates to collect anniversary rewards. Tencent didn’t say what the cakes contain, so you’ll have to play a match to find out.

The newPUBG Mobile updatealso includes Tukshai, a three-wheeled bus that replaces the Jeep, Dacia, and Mini Bus in Sanhok. Players can also get the G36C rifle, which is only available in Vikendi and replaces the SCAR-L.

Elsewhere, subscription plans will be available starting early April. You have the choice of either a Prime or Prime Plus subscription, both of which include Royale Pass points, crate discounts, and more. Tencent hasn’t yet announced pricing for the Prime and Prime Plus subscriptions.

More significantly, the update slightly changes the Royale Pass. Now in Season 6, the Royale Pass offers more points for weekly challenges and lets you view past rankings of regions and friends.

Version 0.11.5 of PUBG Mobile is now available, though you might not see the update right away on the Play Store.
