PUBG Mobile just dropped its highly anticipated Version 4.0 update, and it’s one of the most ambitious yet: a festive, spooky invasion that transforms the battlegrounds into a fantasy horror playground. Let’s take you through every exciting detail—from the haunting new mode to bonus features, plus a simple guide to getting it on your device.
A Spooky Spectacle: The “Spooky Soirée” Mode
At the heart of this update is the Spooky Soirée, a Halloween-themed event that reshapes the PUBG experience in eerie, creative ways. Central to the mode is the Wraithmoor Mansion (or Magic Mirror Castle), a hauntingly beautiful location filled with treacherous corridors, supernatural decor, and high-tier loot zones designed for thrill-seekers
Ghosts literally hide in plain sight: disguised as innocuous objects or hidden inside crates, these spectral beings reward you with supplies if you can expose them. But beware—if you spook them too roughly, they’ll vanish without a trace
There’s also The Performing Dead ghost band—a midway “concert” arena where interacting with the music ups your loot rewards. Help the ghosts out, and they’ll alert you to nearby enemies
Meet Your Supernatural Sidekick: “Ghosty”
This update introduces Ghosty, the first-ever companion in PUBG Mobile. Far from just a cosmetic sidekick, Ghosty brings real advantages to the battlefield:
- Flight: Hitch a ride on a balloon powered by Ghosty to gain aerial mobility.
- Defensive Support: Whether that’s shield protection mid-fight or healing, Ghosty’s got your back
- It’s a strategic leap—effectively adding a dynamic element to squad play and positioning.
Soaring High: The Magic Broom Arrives
- If Ghosty enables flight, the Magic Broom takes that to new heights. Available as a vehicle, it lets players glide across the map while attacking on the go. Airborne ambushes have never been cooler—or more terrifying
Unleash Havoc with the Mortar Weapon
PUBG Mobile’s arsenal grows with the Mortar, a hefty weapon that lets you lay down explosive punishment either directly at enemies or on any spot you mark on the map. It’s perfect for sinking rivals in vehicles or flushing out entrenched enemies with style
New Mode Alert: Predator vs Survivors + More Enhancements
The asymmetric showdown Predator vs Survivors makes its debut—pitting hunters against hunted in a fresh PvP twist Meanwhile, enhancements to Classic Mode aim to deliver more realism, immersive sound, and smoother animations
Beyond the Battleground: Seasonal Content & Visual Treats
Version 4.0 isn’t just about spooks—there’s plenty for fans of style and progression:
- Lunar Castle theme for your in-game home base, adding a seasonal flair
- Royale Pass A15 is live, bringing trick-or-treat–inspired rewards.
- New in-game collaborations, improvements to UI, and system enhancements across graphics, sound, and animations boost quality-of-life across all devices
When & How to Get It
The global rollout began on September 4, 2025, though some regions (like Vietnam and South Korea) got early access on September 3
Here’s how to grab it:
- Android & iOS Users: Head to the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, search “PUBG Mobile,” and hit “Update”
