With this partnership, PUBG MOBILE players will have the opportunity to obtain exclusive in-game BAPE®-branded clothing and accessories, including the iconic Shark Camo Zip-up Hoodie and a BAPE® frying pan. These new collaborative in-game items arrive in time for PUBG MOBILE’s version 0.8.5 content update.

“PUBG MOBILE’s partnership with BAPE® takes mobile gaming to the next level,” said Vincent Wang, general manager, PUBG MOBILE global publishing team. “Players can still rack up chicken dinners, but with BAPE® they can now look even more stylish and trendy while they do it.” 

Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, BAPE® is known around the world as the gold standard for streetwear. BAPE®’s colorful designs and universally recognizable camouflage motifs have defined a generation of in-the-know consumers. With more than 20 million daily active users and countless opportunities for in-game customization, PUBG MOBILE fits BAPE® to a tee.
