PUBG Mobile and BGMI 4.1 Update Leaks Point to Winter Theme, Glacier Skins, and More

PUBG Mobile and BGMI recently got a new update, and it looks like Krafton is already gearing up for the next big one. Multiple leaks on Discord, Reddit, and X suggest that the upcoming 4.1 update for PUBG Mobile will reintroduce the winter theme, bring back the popular Glacier skins, and feature several limited-time events.

Indian players enjoying Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) are also expected to follow the same update cycle, giving them lots to look forward to in the coming months.

What’s New in the PUBG Mobile 4.1 Update?

According to leaks, the 4.1 update will introduce a winter-themed mode across maps, transforming battlegrounds into icy warzones. Expect snow-covered landscapes, ice-laden hot drops, and festive decorations to create a seasonal atmosphere.

Alongside the map changes, players can also look forward to limited-time events tied to the holiday season. These usually include special missions and rewards that let you collect themed outfits, weapon skins, and loot crates.

Are Glacier Skins Really Coming Back?

Yes! if the leaks are accurate. The legendary Glacier gun skins are set to return in this update, including the M416 Glacier, UMP45 Glacier, and Scar-L Glacier. These cosmetics have been some of the most in-demand items in the game, often seen as status symbols within the community. Their rumored comeback through Ultimate Sets or premium crates will likely stir excitement among both collectors and competitive players.

New Outfits, Premium Crates, and Events

PUBG Mobile 4.1 is also expected to feature new Mythic Forge outfits with a distinct “Arctic” flair, upgradable 3D gun skins, and exclusive Ultimate Sets. Premium crates tied to the season will likely carry these cosmetics, adding more customization options for players who enjoy decking out their characters and weapons.

Another exciting feature is the rumored Cyber Week event, which might introduce limited-time challenges and rewards. Previous seasonal events have featured crossovers and collaborations, and this time, leaks hint at anime, music, and automotive brands. Early rumors point to Kaiju No. 8, but for now, it’s currently live with Update 4.0.

When Is the PUBG Mobile 4.1 Update Coming?

While Krafton hasn’t officially confirmed the date, the release window is fairly predictable. Major updates for PUBG Mobile usually roll out every two months, and since version 4.0 launched on September 11, 2025, the 4.1 update is expected in the first week of November 2025.

For BGMI players, the timing should be similar. The last major BGMI update (version 4.0) brought the Spooky Soiree theme in September, and the 4.1 patch is likely to arrive in India around the same November timeframe.

What About BGMI 4.1 Features?

BGMI 4.1 will mirror PUBG Mobile’s winter theme, with a little bit of an Indian touch. Reports suggest unique winter-themed powers, items, and even dragon-inspired zones, bringing extra variety to the experience. The return of ice-themed skins like the AKM Glacier and UMP Glacier is also being teased.
