PUBG previously collaborated with Blackpink last year for “special in-game event missions” where players could get Blackpink-themed items. PUBG maps also changed through added Blackpink-inspired decorative designs such as building stickers, posters, supply crates, and helmets.
In 2020, BLACKPINK also participated in PUBG Mobile’s ‘Fun Match’ together with Super Junior’s Heechul. You can watch the Gameplay show video below:
