The PUBG Esports Team Edition Skins will be split into three separate drops, the first of which will occur in April. The item drop will see PUBG release skins for three of its Global Partner Teams.
It has not been announced which teams have been initially selected however PUBG will release a further four skins in June, with the final three teams getting skins in October.

As a Global Partner team for PUBG, the 10 organisations receive a percentage of the sale of in-game items in addition to a guaranteed slot to compete in the PUBG Global Series, the highest tier of PUBG esports.
In addition to the team skins, PUBG will also release skins themed around the PUBG Nations and 2024 PUBG Global Championship.
The PUBG Global Series tournament commences in May and features four LAN tournaments. The series’ combined prize pool amounts to $1.2m (~£949,284).

South Korean organisation Danawa e-sports secured victory and will receive an exclusive in-game item drop in September as part of the initiative.
