PUBG Mobile 4.5 Update: Naruto Collab, Sea Odyssey & Release Date
PUBG Mobile 4.5 drops on July 9, 2026 with its biggest crossover yet — Naruto Shippuden ninja abilities on classic maps, the return of the beloved Sea Odyssey underwater mode, plus Spider-Man and Ferrari collaborations later in the cycle.
PUBG Mobile's 4.5 update lands on July 9, 2026, and it's headlined by a full-scale Naruto Shippuden crossover that transforms parts of the classic maps into the world of the Hidden Leaf. Add the return of the community-favourite Sea Odyssey underwater mode, a Spider-Man: Brand New Day collab at the end of July, and Ferrari vehicle skins — and 4.5 might be the most stacked PUBG Mobile update of 2026. Here's everything you need to know before you drop.
PUBG Mobile 4.5 Release Date
The 4.5 update releases globally on July 9, 2026. As always, expect a staged rollout across the Play Store and App Store over the first day or two. Note for Indian players: this is the global PUBG Mobile update — BGMI runs its own 4.4 cycle with the Hero's Crown mode, and collabs usually differ between the two versions.
Naruto Shippuden Crossover – Ninja Abilities Explained
The crossover brings the world of Shinobi into PUBG Mobile's battle royale, blending ninja abilities with classic gunfights. Two abilities stand out:
- Ninja Run – grants high movement speed, greater jump height, and lets you run across water surfaces
- Substitution Jutsu – when your health drops to 10 or below, you instantly swap places with a wooden log, become briefly invincible, and teleport to a random nearby location
- Themed map areas styled after the Hidden Leaf Village on classic maps
- Collab-exclusive outfits, emotes and themed events throughout the update cycle
The Substitution Jutsu in particular will change endgame fights — a player you knocked to 10 HP can now escape and reposition instantly, so always confirm your knocks and watch for the log swap.
Sea Odyssey Mode Returns
The star returning feature of 4.5 is Sea Odyssey — the underwater ruins mode the community loved back in version 3.3. Explore submerged ruins, find exclusive loot underwater, and use the vertical water gameplay to outrotate squads stuck on land.
Spider-Man & Ferrari Collabs Coming Later in 4.5
- Around July 30 – Spider-Man: Brand New Day collaboration arrives
- Web-Shooters return as equippable items — web-sling between buildings, swing across gaps and climb walls
- Ferrari content rolls out alongside 4.5 — vehicle skins and roulette events
