PUBG: Battlegrounds has teamed up with K-pop sensation IVE, bringing exclusive content to PC on November 4 with update 44.1. Console players can join the fun starting November 12.

What's New in PUBG x IVE?

Krafton’s collaboration centers on IVE’s hit song “LOVE DIVE.” All six IVE members, An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo, appear as in-game characters with their own unique outfit sets. The update also adds weapon and gear skins, plus emotes inspired by IVE’s songs.

This time, it’s more than just costumes. Krafton has also updated the map.

IVE Spots Added to Rondo

Three new IVE Spots are now in the Rondo map: near NEOX Factory, Yu Lin, and Hung Shan. These areas are decorated with visuals inspired by the LOVE DIVE music video. Here’s what you’ll find:

• IVE Mansion: Features the Cupid's Crossbow.
• Emote Stage: A permanent stage you can use even after the match starts.
• IVE Roulette: Interact to play a random IVE song.

Music lovers will appreciate this detail: all vehicles that play music now feature IVE tracks. Care packages (except in Paramo) are also IVE-themed.

Cupid Hunt on the Starting Island

IVE Emote Stages have been added to the starting islands of Rondo, Erangel, Miramar, Taego, Deston, and Vikendi. Perform an IVE emote on stage to trigger the song’s music video. On console, you’ll see the album art instead.

There’s also a new character called Cupid Chicken Man roaming these islands. Each player gets a Cupid's Crossbow loaded with 10 arrows. The arrows don’t damage players, only the Chicken Man. Hit him enough times and you’ll earn a Cupid's Egg, which gives you a random IVE outfit or Chicken Man set for that match only.

How to Get IVE Sets

Permanent IVE items are available from IVE Cargo in the Workshop. Each draw costs 250 G-Coin or 1 IVE Cargo Ticket. Every draw rewards you with 15 IVE Tokens, which you can exchange for any set you want in Special Crafting.

There are also bonus rewards based on the number of draws. Unlock the “Looks Can Kill” emote at 125 draws, the IVE Pan at 180, and the IVE Parachute at 340. These three are exclusive to cumulative draw rewards. Note: Due to legal restrictions, chance-based items are not sold in Belgium or the Netherlands.

Free Rewards and Events

You can earn rewards without spending money. The “PUBG X IVE” event features missions like entering the lobby, surviving for 30 minutes, and visiting the IVE Mansion. Complete them to earn 2 IVE Cargo Tickets, 2 Supply Loot Caches, and 20 Contraband Coupons.

The “Collector” event unlocks the IVE Stage lobby skin when you wear all six member outfits. There’s also a web event with prizes like PUBG x IVE keycaps and signed posters for winners, plus a chance for all participants to get the “Let’s Dive” nameplate.

Important Dates (CET)

Don’t forget to use your tokens before the deadline. Expired IVE Tokens and Cargo Tickets will be deleted and are non-refundable.

Important Restriction

IVE member faces can’t be used with certain outfits. Krafton has published a list of 16 restricted items, including bikinis, short shorts, and some collaboration costumes (like Cammy’s leotard or Harley Quinn’s suit). This rule applies to both PC and console.

Get Your G-Coin Ready

IVE Cargo draws and Step Up packs can be purchased with G-Coin. On PC, you can top up your G-Coin using a Steam Wallet Code. If you play on Xbox, PUBG G-Coins (Xbox) are available directly.
