PUBG Mobile One-Punch Man Collab: Free Rewards, Dates

PUBG MOBILE's One-Punch Man crossover has a login window from September 20 to October 19, 2026, and the official video names five limited character sets. Only part of it is free. The publisher has not posted a reward breakdown that we can cite, so the cost of each route below is labelled as reported by Outlook Respawn or Inven Global.

What PUBG MOBILE confirms

The game's own YouTube channel uploaded the One-Punch Man trailer on September 16, 2026 at 20:00 PT (03:00 UTC on September 17). Its description lists the five characters as limited character sets and tells players to log in between September 20 and October 19, and says the items are gone when the crate closes. No prices or reward tracks appear in it.

A post on the official @PUBGMOBILE X account on September 21 frames the crossover as the Hero Association arriving on Erangel while a vampire storyline is running, and repeats the five names.

The window is 29 days from the first day to the last. With today being October 3, that leaves 16 days. Neither the video nor the X post gives a cutoff time, so assume your server's reset and finish rewards a day early.

Free, paid and random routes

Outlook Respawn describes three kinds of route, and they cost very different amounts. The free one is a Perk Exchange event. You complete missions, gather exchange materials and trade them for One-Punch Man cards, avatars, an emote and the King outfit. King is a separate Special Collaboration Set, not one of the five premium characters.

The guaranteed paid route is a Prize Path, listed at 600 UC and 25 levels. It progresses with Path Points from missions, and buying it grants the Garou outfit straight away. Later levels hand out fixed Genos, Garou and Hellish Blizzard items, plus up to 302 Lucky Coins.

The random route is two Lucky Spins, one for Saitama and one for Terrible Tornado, paid with Lucky Coins. Because spins are random, no single item has a fixed price, and the Google Play listing flags that in-game purchases can include random items.

Inven Global, reporting on September 20, lists much more than outfits: weapon skins for the Kar98K and a machete, a glider, a bicycle, a parachute, emotes, voice packs, upgradable helmets and backpacks, avatar frames, graffiti and lobby statues. That article also gives October 20 as the end date and lists six characters by adding Watchdog Man. PUBG MOBILE's own description says October 19 and names five, so use those, and check any individual item in the in-game event page before you spend.

Why the store listing matters

The game is free to download, and both stores say so. Google Play lists Level Infinite as the publisher, shows more than a billion downloads, and notes ads and in-app purchases. The App Store lists it as free with in-app purchases, rated 13 and over, at about 4 GB. Any UC you spend is real money, and the price in your currency depends on your region, so compare the Prize Path cost in your own store before buying. Apple names Tencent Mobile International Limited as the developer on its listing, while the in-game publisher name you see on Android is Level Infinite, so the two storefronts do not use the same company name for the same game.

BGMI in India

BGMI, the India edition published by KRAFTON, shares the dates and the five characters according to Outlook Respawn, but runs its own Prize Path, its own spins and its own sets, so do not carry the PUBG MOBILE prices over. The same outlet says its Perk Exchange started earlier, on September 9, and that collab redeem codes expired on September 25, a different date from the main window.
