The PUBG Mobile 4.0 Update brings supernatural-themed gameplay, a new Mortar weapon, Magic Mirror Castle, Ghosty buddy, and WOW mode upgrades this September.
The highly-anticipated PUBG Mobile 4.0 Update is arriving in September 2025, and it’s set to inject spooky energy into the game just in time for Halloween. Beta version previews show brand-new supernatural abilities, a themed Magic Mirror Castle mode, the introduction of a powerful new weapon — the Mortar, and a major upgrade to WOW Mode.
Here’s a full breakdown of what’s coming.
PUBG Mobile 4.0 Update: New Features
Magic Mirror Castle and the Spooky Soiree Mode
The star of the PUBG Mobile 4.0 update's themed game mode is the Magic Mirror Castle, an eerie hotspot surrounded by dense foliage and waterfalls. This map area delivers not only rich loot but also supernatural skills from King’s Crates.
Inside the castle, players will find Ghost Cakes and Ghosty, a new magical companion. Ghosty can revive teammates, heal you even while you’re moving or shooting, and provide unique in-match advantages. This ally alone could change late-game strategies dramatically.
Supernatural Abilities to Outplay Opponents
By opening special spooky crates around the castle, players unlock supernatural abilities:
- Ghost Balloon – Transform Ghosty into a hot-air balloon to take to the skies for quick relocations.
- Magic Shield – Deploy Ghosty as a 3000 HP energy shield to block bullets and explosions while pushing enemies away.
- Fast Run – Get a thruster push from Ghosty for bursts of high-speed movement.
- Enemy Location Scan – Briefly reveal enemy locations using unique skill items.
Players can carry three main skills and up to five secondary ones, with duplicates used to upgrade existing powers.
The Magic Broom — Fly Into Battle
Staying on theme, the Magic Broom is the spooky mode’s signature vehicle. It carries two players through the air at impressive speeds, with a burst boost available. Just be careful — the sudden acceleration might throw your teammate off!
New Weapon — Mortar
The 4.0 update introduces the Mortar, a lightweight, player-carried long-range weapon. It uses special explosive ammo and works in two modes:
- Direct fire at visible targets
- Map-based targeting beyond line of sight
Perfect for flushing enemies out from behind cover, the Mortar could shift meta strategies in competitive play.
