PUBG MOBILE’s Version 4.7 update, available from November 11, 2026 until January 12, 2027, introduces a new Arctic Chronicles themed mode, a fresh PvE map called Seal City, and a series of seasonal events and quality‑of‑life improvements.

The Arctic Chronicles mode transforms parts of Pochinki, Rozhok and Mansion with Norse‑inspired architecture and features the colossal Ancient Beast. Players can destroy two Sealing Towers, activate pedestals, and enter the beast’s open mouth to claim a themed Pegasus mount. Glyph Abilities, such as faster healing, reloading and supply detection, are available at the start of matches and can be upgraded by collecting Power Feathers. The Aurora Blink, Aurora Pegasus, and Fanged Wolf Spirit provide new mobility and support options.

From December 3, 2026, Erangel Subzero will freeze the island after satellite crashes release cryogenic gas. The new environment includes dynamic weather, frozen buildings, and cold‑weather items such as the Thermal Protection Suit, BZ Grenade, Liquid Nitrogen Bottle, and Snow Mist Ammo. Players can also use a new Snowboard, Snowmobile, and Snowbike to traverse icy terrain.

Classic Mode receives several combat and quality‑of‑life updates: improved vehicle camera behaviour, staged reload, lighter and faster healing items, and a new fishing feature. Tournament‑themed changes celebrate the upcoming PUBG MOBILE Global Championship 2026, adding exhibition areas, hot air balloons, and themed planes.

Seasonal celebrations begin on December 12 with the Frost Festival Playground, featuring snow piles, a carousel, ice fishing, and a slide. The New Year Countdown and fireworks appear on December 31, followed by a New Year Musical Fountain. Godzilla returns from November 20 to January 12, 2027, with collaboration sets and items. Bentley and Ferrari SF‑25 collaborations are also available during the season.

World of Wonder (WOW) receives a wintry makeover, adding Frost Festival scenery, new characters, and a new Avalanche Escape beach party area. Creators gain new tools, including visual programming, an upgraded effect editor, and templates for custom maps.

Home Mode introduces the Frosted Splendor Home Style, new decorative items, and a Craftsman’s Pass. The Home Competition returns, allowing players with at least 200 Home Prosperity to submit builds.

Season 33 updates tier rewards and the Promotion Match experience, while a new Casual season offers progression across Unranked Classic, Arena, WOW, Home, and Arcade. The Royale Pass RP A22 adds a custom‑colour outfit, upgradable weapon, and new rewards.

Metro Royale receives a major upgrade with the new Seal City PvE map, featuring 20 enemies across four tiers, three bosses, a dynamic day‑night cycle, and new tactical items such as the Scream Grenade and Stealth Syringe. The Gallery System expands to three new categories, and the Talent Tree now has three branches.

Additional updates include new outfits, weapon finishes, and Gilt Sets, a new X‑Suit with multiple forms, and Cyber Week limited‑time offers. System improvements cover recruitment lobbies, chat, Bluetooth latency, and lobby voice chat.

The Version 4.7 update is free on the App Store and Google Play Store. For full patch notes, visit the official PUBG MOBILE newsroom.
