PUBG MOBILE is bringing a fresh wave of action, African music, and competitive gaming to Nigeria with the launch of Version 4.6, the official PUBG MOBILE × Magixx collaboration, and the conclusion of the PUBG MOBILE National Championship (PMNC) Nigeria 2026.
From vampire hunting to national championship glory, PUBG MOBILE is giving Nigerian players more reasons to jump into the action.
Enter the World of Vampire Hunters
The latest Version 4.6 takes players into a darker battleground with the arrival of the Vampire Hunters theme, adding a supernatural twist to the popular PUBG MOBILE battle royale experience. Alongside the new theme, the update brings exciting new features and gameplay experiences designed to give players more ways to explore, compete and survive on the battlefield
But the excitement does not stop at gaming: this update also puts African music and style in the spotlight through Nigerian Afro-pop star Magixx, the official music collaborator for the Version 4.6 Africa campaign.
Built around the theme “BE THE ONE,” the collaboration celebrates confidence, teamwork, and the determination to stand until the end.
From September 24 to October 23, players can participate in the limited-time Unlock Magixx Style event. By logging in, completing missions and playing matches, players can unlock Magixx poster pieces and claim free rewards, including a Magixx Avatar Frame, Voice Pack, Lobby Music, and an exclusive outfit/skin.
Players can also set Magixx’s “Be The One” as their lobby music, bringing the collaboration directly into their PUBG MOBILE experience every time they enter the game.
With the Vampire Hunters experience, new features, and the Magixx collaboration, players can download the latest version of PUBG MOBILE and jump into the action.
