The PUBG x aespa Collaboration has officially launched, injecting aespa’s futuristic style and music into the world of PUBG. Players can now explore a high-energy update packed with exclusive emotes, themed gear, dynamic maps, and music-driven events.
Starting July 9, PUBG features aespa content across Erangel, Miramar, Vikendi, Deston, Taego, and Rondo. Right from the lobby, players encounter new banners, fireworks, and aespa-themed care packages that reflect the group’s bold aesthetic.
Players can perform special emotes on Emote Stages found on starting islands. These trigger aespa music videos for the duration of the emote. Once players board the plane, the stage disappears. The feature is available in Normal, Ranked, and Casual modes.
Samsung redesigned locations on Miramar to reflect the aespa concert theme. Places like El Pozo, Pecado, and Tierra Bronca now include Desert Domes. Other buildings have transformed into Rest Stops, featuring LED screens, murals, and turntables playing aespa tracks.
Vehicles now play aespa music by default, and the lobby has switched to Dark Arts (PNC 2025 Anthem) as its main soundtrack. These additions ensure a full-sensory aespa experience from lobby to battleground.
In the Workshop, players can craft 20 exclusive items using aespa Tokens. These include the [BATTLESTAT] M416, Mini14, AKM, M249, costume sets, parachutes, sprays, and more. Players who dismantle items recover part of their tokens, making it easier to manage resources. However, tokens must be used before they expire, so players should plan accordingly.
Samsung also introduced Step Up Packs and Loot Cache Packs with discounts up to 80%. These one-time purchases offer great value, though they remain unavailable in Belgium and the Netherlands due to regional restrictions. Some packs let users pay with either G-Coin or BP.
The emotes appear in two themed packs. Part 1 includes Next Level, Supernova, Whiplash, Dirty Work, and Dark Arts. Part 2 will exclude Dark Arts (Part 2). That specific emote will appear later as a reward during the PNC 2025 Drops esports event, which PUBG plans to reveal on July 21.
Players can also join the PUBG x aespa Web Event for bonus rewards. To participate, they must log in with a KRAFTON ID and click the “Join Event” button. Participants instantly receive a PUBG x aespa Box and a Lucky G-Coin Box, which grants between 100–10,000 G-Coin. Users must open these within 30 days.
Ongoing missions such as The Collector offer further chances to earn exclusive content. These daily and event-based missions ensure players stay engaged throughout the collaboration.
The PUBG x aespa Collaboration will remain active until the next game update. Until then, players can enjoy this bold, music-infused crossover that blends K-pop energy with PUBG’s high-stakes action. Dive in now to unlock rewards, showcase aespa flair, and dominate the battleground in style.
