JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA – Music and gaming are coming together in a major new collaboration as global superstar Davido joins PUBG MOBILE, bringing his love of gaming to a partnership that invites fans to experience the action for themselves.
The collaboration arrives alongside the worldwide launch of PUBG MOBILE FLASH, a new, streamlined version of the game designed to make the PUBG MOBILE experience accessible to more smartphone users. For players in South Africa, it means another way to connect with friends, join the action and be part of one of the world’s most recognisable mobile gaming communities.
Davido is no stranger to the game. A PUBG MOBILE player himself, he steps into the collaboration not just as a global music star but as a fellow player, sharing squad tactics, close-range encounters and gameplay moments with fans. The partnership brings together his influence in music and entertainment with PUBG MOBILE’s global gaming community.
A New Way to Get into the Game
With PUBG MOBILE FLASH, getting into the action is designed to be easier. The new version features a smaller initial download and optimized performance, making the game accessible to a broader range of smartphones.
And players don’t have to leave their friends behind. Those using PUBG MOBILE FLASH can connect and play with people using the original PUBG MOBILE version, keeping squads together across both versions.
Play, Collect and Win with Davido
The collaboration also brings players the 30BG Card Drop, an in-game campaign inspired by Davido and his world.
By completing missions and earning draws, players can collect exclusive Davido, City and Holiday cards. The campaign also gives participants the chance to win:
- Tickets to Davido’s Oriade concert
- Infinix HOT 70 Pro 5G+ smartphones
- Limited-edition 30BG merchandise
Players can also unlock additional Davido-themed gifts through downloads and in-game activities.

More details about the music collaboration and additional campaign activities will be announced in the next phase.
Bringing African Culture into the Game
The Davido partnership is part of PUBG MOBILE’s wider commitment to building stronger relationships with players and creators across Africa.
The game continues to invest in the continent through server development, network optimization, community engagement and creator support. Programmes such as Next Star and PDP provide opportunities for local creators to grow their audiences and contribute to the gaming community.
From Version 4.5, PUBG MOBILE is also taking its African localization efforts further, bringing more local music, talent and cultural influences into the game. Planned experiences include customized songs, music videos, voice packs, outfits and avatar frames.
By bringing together global stars and local cultural influences, PUBG MOBILE is creating more ways for African players to see their interests and identities reflected in the game.
About PUBG MOBILE
PUBG MOBILE is built on PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, the phenomenon that took the PC and console gaming world by storm in 2017. Up to 100 players parachute onto a remote island to compete in a winner-takes-all battle. Players must locate and collect their own weapons, vehicles and supplies while fighting to remain inside an ever-shrinking play zone. The last player or team standing wins.
PUBG MOBILE is co-developed by LIGHTSPEED STUDIOS of Tencent Games and KRAFTON, Inc.
