KRAFTON has released Update 44.1 for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, adding an in-game collaboration with K-pop group IVE built around the song “LOVE DIVE.” The collab is out now on PC and arrives on console on November 12.
Three “IVE Spots” inspired by the “LOVE DIVE” music video have been added to Rondo, including an IVE Mansion and emote stages. All six IVE members appear as character likenesses, with member-specific outfits and accessories alongside weapon and gear skins. IVE emote stages also appear on starting islands across Rondo, Erangel, Miramar, Taego, Deston and Vikendi. On PC, using an IVE emote at these stages plays the collaboration music video, while console shows the album artwork.
Dawnbreakers and Xeno Point return with higher difficulty
Two PvE modes are back with tougher challenges. HLB: DAWNBREAKERS OF RONDO returns to Jadena City, with more frequent Special Hungers, more fuel cans needed to activate generators, and capacitors with reduced health. It runs on PC from November 4 through November 25, and on console from November 12 through December 3.
Xeno Point is now Xeno Point: Hell, which replaces the original three difficulty levels with a single Hell difficulty and adds a fourth sector. Difficulty scales with party size for groups of one to four players, and a leaderboard ranks players by completion time for the final boss stage. It runs on PC from November 18 through December 2, and on console from November 26 through December 10.
Update 44.1 also gives PUBG Fantasy more time for roster selection and shows team rankings after each match ahead of PGC 2026. According to KRAFTON, the update additionally increases the durability of select vehicles, adds Blue Chip status, inventory and weapon attachments to spectator information, and improves voice chat quality.
