PUBG: Battlegrounds has launched a new crossover featuring the K-pop girl group IVE, centering on their track Love Dive. The crossover is currently active on PC and is scheduled to launch on console platforms on November 12. As part of the event, three themed locations inspired by the song's music video, such as the IVE Mansion, have been added across the Rondo map.
Players can acquire character likenesses for all six members of IVE, along with themed outfits, gear, weapon skins, and accessories. Dedicated Emote Stages appear across six battlegrounds—Rondo, Erangel, Miramar, Taego, Deston, and Vikendi—allowing squads to perform designated emotes to trigger music videos on PC or album artwork on consoles. Starter islands also feature interactive elements, including Cupid Chicken Man and Cupid's Crossbow.
Alongside the musical crossover, two PvE modes are returning with increased difficulty settings. HLB: Dawnbreakers of Rondo brings fragile defenses, extra fuel requirements, and heavier enemy waves, running from November 4 to November 25 on PC and November 12 to December 3 on consoles. The roguelite mode Xeno Point: Hell follows with a unified Hell difficulty and an added fourth sector, available on PC from November 18 to December 2 and on consoles from November 26 to December 10.
