PUBG MOBILE has announced new features in its Version 4.0 Update. Available until 4 November 2025, players can enjoy Spooky Soiree gameplay, explore haunted mansions, team up with ghoulish creatures, and experience new items and challenges for a fun, eerie adventure.
A Spook-tacular Themed Mode
The Version 4.0 Update features the Spooky Soiree mode on Erangel, Livik, and Rondo. Players can partner with Ghostie, a ghost companion, who has one main skill and two passive skills, chosen from various options. Recent map updates introduce skills like Floating Balloon, Guardian Shield, Boost, and Ghost Helm. Players eliminated can turn into Prankster Ghosts, using abilities like Bomb, Scan, and Shield until their energy depletes.
New gameplay elements include the Magic Broom, a two-player flying vehicle with attack capabilities, and the Haunted Sight, allowing quick zoom switches with fun voice lines and animations. Erangel and Livik welcome Wraithmoor Mansion, filled with supernatural decor, and Scaredy Ghosts that reward players when attacked. Additionally, a ghostly rock concert will occur mid-match where players can earn rewards and hints about nearby enemies.
Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Vibes
To celebrate seasonal traditions, the Version 4.0 Update introduces themed locations in Erangel and Livik. The Moonlight Festival Checkpoint offers an Eastern pavilion on water under the full moon, where players find Mid-Autumn Mooncakes that restore Health and Energy.

New Items in Classic Mode
Classic Mode receives exciting updates that enhance combat and immersion. A new Mortar weapon gives players a powerful way to attack with direct fire or long-range strikes. Realistic Reloading adds tactical depth, simulating reload mechanics across multiple weapon types, while updated pistol animations enhance authenticity. Some weapons now gain an extra round when reloading tactically.
