What will be coming in this PUBG Survivor Summerfest update?
During this new event that is being released in PUBG, there are many modes and rewards that can be earned by players that can be both accessed in-game and in the real world; some of these rewards will be character skins of popular characters from Street Fighter 6 like Chun-Li, Ryu, Luke and Cammy. Many Street Fighter fans will be excited to be playing as their favourite Street Fighter characters, and these skins will be purchasable from July 26th till September 20th.
During this update, there will be many different events for players to take part in and not just in the game itself, as there will be an event on the Summer Mission Event Hub Website, which is where players can gain access to missions that they need to complete in-game to earn Summer Stamps. These stamps will be used as an opportunity to be selected to receive certain rewards like a new Summer-Themed Nameplate, In-Game currency known as G-Coin and even a high-end gaming PC, but there is only a chance to be chosen to receive these rewards.

Many fans of PUBG will be happy to hear that there will be some new game modes coming with this new update which will be accessible in an overhauled Arcade mode, and will have some brand new activities for players to enjoy over the summer period. In this overhauled Arcade mode, there will already be some specialised modes involved, such as Intense Battle Royale, Team Deathmatch and a brand new mode called Bluebomb Rush.
In this new Arcade Mode, there will also be a LABS mode which will feature both new and old game modes, which will be used to help test these modes by using PUBG Community feedback to try and help the devs ensure that these modes work well and are enjoyed. Alongside this, there will also be an inclusion of Arcade points which once accumulated, can be used to purchase unique in-game rewards, which should help to incentivise gamers to give these new modes a try.
That isn’t all, as there will also be some special drop events that will take place over the Summer period, which will give players a chance to game some interesting rewards over the Summer period; this will take place through a few special events like Summer Splash Bingo, Check-In rewards and a special Street Fight Battle event where players will duke it out with their fists rather than guns, earning themselves some unique rewards like emotes, contraband coupons and a Street Fighter 6 themed helmet.
At the moment, this update is currently live on PC and will be will available on consoles from July 20th. Will you be getting involved in this Summer event? Let us know in the comments what you think about this and whether or not you will be joining in on this collaboration!
