PUBG Battlegrounds Announces Stellar Blade Collaboration

PUBG Studios has announced a new crossover with Shift Up’s action RPG Stellar Blade. The collaboration brings EVE, the game’s lead character, into PUBG: Battlegrounds as a premium cosmetic called Contender #003: EVE.

A trailer dropped on April 3, 2026, and it showed all three of EVE’s nano suits that players can unlock in the battle royale.

PUBG x Stellar Blade Collab

The collab adds EVE from Stellar Blade as a Contender skin in PUBG: Battlegrounds. Contender skins are premium cosmetics with a progressive unlock system. Players pay to access the base skin, then work through stages to unlock additional outfits tied to the same purchase.

The event name is Contender #003: EVE. The official tagline used in the trailer reads: “From savior to survivor. In the Battlegrounds, survival is the only rule. EVE engaged. Survival begins.”

PUBG has run similar crossover events before, including past collaborations with Resident Evil and Lamborghini.

All Three EVE Nano Suits in PUBG

The trailer confirmed three nano suits from Stellar Blade available through the Contender skin:

• Planet Diving Suit (7th): EVE’s suit from her first arrival on Earth. It has a clean, functional look tied to the game’s early narrative.
• War Dress: A more combat-ready outfit from later in Stellar Blade’s story.
• Comfort Force: A third outfit included in the Contender bundle.

The collaboration also includes a frying pan skin styled after EVE’s original green suit. Frying pans are a long-running cosmetic item in PUBG, so this one doubles as a nod to the source game.

PUBG x Stellar Blade Release Date

The content goes live on PC on April 8, 2026. Console players on PS5 and Xbox have to wait until April 16, 2026.

Both releases typically go live following scheduled server maintenance. On PC, that window is usually midnight PT. Console maintenance runs at 1 AM PT.

EVE Skin Price

PUBG Studios has not announced pricing for the Stellar Blade EVE skin yet. Contender skins in PUBG tend to cost more than standard cosmetics given their multi-stage unlock structure. No official figure was included in the trailer or any related announcements at the time of writing.
