PUBG Mobile 4.5 Release Time Confirmed: Naruto Update Arrives on July 9

PUBG Mobile's 4.5 update will begin rolling out globally on July 9, 2026, introducing the Naruto-themed Ninjas Assemble mode, new gameplay mechanics, and fresh seasonal content. According to the official PUBG Mobile announcement, the 4.5 update rollout starts at 11:30 PM UTC on July 8 and is expected to finish by 3:30 AM UTC on July 9.

Unlike smaller seasonal patches, Update 4.5 brings a full collaboration experience inspired by Naruto. The new Ninjas Assemble mode transforms large sections of Erangel and Livik into locations based on the Hidden Leaf Village, adding recognizable landmarks such as the Ninja Academy and the Valley of the End.

Players will also gain access to several iconic ninjutsu abilities, includingFire Ball Jutsu, Shadow Clone Jutsu, Chidori, and the Flying Raijin technique for high-speed teleportation. Another major highlight is the battle against the Nine-Tailed Fox (Kurama), allowing players to experience one of the collaboration's signature encounters.

Alongside the themed gameplay, the update launches the A20 Royale Pass, bringing both free and premium rewards, while new Gilt Sets and X-Suits expand the game's cosmetic lineup.

The Korean version of PUBG Mobile is expected to receive the update a day earlier than the global release, while the Vietnamese version is scheduled to go live on the same day as the international rollout.

Once Update 4.5 becomes available, Android users can download it through the Google Play Store, while iOS players can update the game via the App Store. After installing the latest version, players simply need to launch the game and download the additional in-game resources before accessing the new content.
