A major crossover with Saitama, the return of a rare pet, and a vampiric aesthetic: Krafton is preparing to release the massive PUBG Mobile 4.6 update on September 9, 2026. Players can look forward to Season S32, Gilt Set skins, and fresh mechanics for Metro Royale.
The developers’ official announcement leaves no doubt: the 4.6 rollout begins on September 9, 2026. Four beta test phases, which concluded on August 23, helped tweak balance and prepare the servers. Gothic is the main theme this time around. Hunting missions, gargoyles, blood crystal barriers, and items like Twilight Bat Wings and the Scarlet Tonic buff will arrive in the game. This entire arsenal will migrate to the main client, along with fresh vehicles and reworked classic maps.

What’s in store for Season S32 and Gilt Sets?
This time, the visuals surpass previous releases. The Gilt Sets line offers golden costumes with unique interactive elements. The premium Honor Series debuts alongside them. At the same time, the S32 Season Ranked Rewards Set closes. The final pace of the rank race will determine which frames, skins, and emblems, from Gold to Conqueror, will be unlocked.
The Return of the Predator
Companion lovers will once again be able to claim the leopard. This companion, known from the Mech Panthera and Metallurgic Hunter versions, will once again appear in the store and during special events. The developers decided to please those who have long yearned for rare companions.
Collaboration with One-Punch Man in PUBG Mobile 4.6
The most talked-about event will be a large-scale event crossover. Popular characters from the franchise will appear in the game:
-
Saitama and Genos;
-
Hellish Blizzard, Watchdog Man, and Mumen Rider;
-
Two variations of Garou and Terrible Tornado.
While some assets are still circulating in leaks and AI previews, the community is eagerly awaiting the event. This event is shaping up to be one of the biggest collaborations of the year, following the announcements with Naruto and Demon Slayer.
Patch 4.6 looks extremely well-balanced: it combines a fun themed mode, the return of an iconic companion, and a powerful anime franchise. Just digging into the beta details reveals that the scale of this event is on par with the spring events with Ferrari and Spider-Man. The update releases on September 9, 2026, so get your devices ready to download.
