PUBG Mobile's 4.5 update dropped on July 9, 2026, and it's the biggest content drop the battle royale has seen this year. These PUBG Mobile 4.5 patch notes cover the ninjutsu, the supercars, and everything else in between. The headliner is the Naruto Shippuden collaboration, which adds seven ninjutsu abilities, a chakra system, a world boss, and a Hidden Leaf Village map makeover - not just cosmetic skins. On top of that, Ferrari supercars land on July 10, a new Metro Royale season kicks off, and Spider-Man swings back on July 30 - all part of the PUBG Mobile 4.5 new features this patch brings. Here's what matters and what you should know before you drop in - this PUBG Mobile update news roundup covers all the 4.5 patch highlights.

Release Summary

PUBG Mobile 4.5 Naruto Shippuden Collaboration

The centerpiece of the PUBG Mobile 4.5 patch is an entire Naruto-themed mode built into Erangel, Livik, and Sanhok - not just a handful of skins. Erangel gets the full treatment - Pochinki, Mylta, and the mansion areas are rebuilt as Hidden Leaf Village districts with landmarks pulled straight from the anime: Hokage Rock, Naruto's apartment, the Ninja Academy, Ichiraku Ramen, the Chunin Exam arena, and Final Valley.

Walking through these reworked zones is genuinely disorienting in the best way. You're looting an apartment one second and standing under the Hokage faces the next. The ninja-run mechanic lets you wall-run across buildings in these zones, which changes rotations through cities completely. You can clear a flank route that didn't exist before by running up a wall instead of going around it.

Seven Ninjutsu and the Chakra System

Seven jutsus become available gradually from July 9 to July 14. You pick them up as loot items and they consume chakra when used - chakra that refills slowly over time or instantly at Ichiraku Ramen stalls scattered across the three maps. The lineup:

• Rasengan - Close-range spinning attack that damages and knocks back enemies
• Chidori - Lightning-infused dash strike, good for closing gaps or finishing low-health targets
• Shadow Clone Jutsu - Spawns decoy clones that confuse enemies, useful for retreating or baiting shots
• Flying Thunder God - Teleport to a thrown kunai. You can tag vehicles, buildings, or even the kunai mid-air. Pair this with Rasengan and you automatically trigger a Flying Thunder God Level 2 combo: teleport → Rasengan on arrival. Kill the enemy within three seconds and you get a highlight-reel replay
• Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu - Area damage projectile, solid for flushing campers out of buildings
• Earth Style: Mud Wall - Deployable cover, the closest thing this game has to a Fortnite build
• Edo Tensei - Revive a knocked teammate from a distance, which is the most useful tactical ability in the set

The chakra system keeps jutsus from feeling like free win buttons. You can't spam Rasengan on cooldown. You either save chakra for a fight or spend it on ninja-run mobility and hope you find a ramen stall before the next engagement. That tension - burn resources for speed now or save for the fight later - is what makes the system feel like it belongs in a battle royale rather than a gimmick bolted on top.

There's also a voice-activated jutsu feature in the Chunin Exam arena starting July 14. You literally say the jutsu name and the game casts it. No chakra cost, no cooldown. The arena disables weapons so it's pure ninjutsu duels. Supported languages include English, Japanese, Arabic, Turkish, Russian, and Chinese. It's ridiculous and I can't stop doing it.

Nine-Tails Boss Fight

A Nine-Tails boss roams Erangel in three states - sleeping, patrolling, or guarding a fixed area. The fight has two phases:

Phase one: You encounter Nine-Tails at one of three spawn points. Whittle its HP to 80% and it retreats, dropping loot and a chance to get Tailed Beast Mode. Phase two: Nine-Tails returns stronger. Killing it outright drops airdrop-tier gear plus the rare Edo Tensei jutsu and guarantees Tailed Beast Mode.

Tailed Beast Mode itself is a temporary super-state. Your HP, movement speed, and chakra regen all spike hard. In final circles, a squad with Tailed Beast Mode active is terrifying. The tradeoff is everyone on the map sees the transformation, so you become the priority target.

Protect the Hidden Leaf - July 17 Server Event

Starting July 17, matches have a chance to trigger the Nine-Tails invasion event. The fox attacks the Hidden Leaf zone and every squad in the match temporarily allies to defend it. Friendly fire is disabled inside the 800×800 defense zone. You get a countdown timer to kill Nine-Tails, and doing it gets you a hidden achievement with a leaderboard entry.

The event also gives you bonus buffs during the fight: kills near Nine-Tails grant an extra respawn, attack power-ups drop that let you reload without consuming ammo, and hitting its glowing weak points puts it into a stunned state. Ninjutsu attacks deal bonus damage against the boss.

PUBG Mobile 4.5 Free Naruto Rewards

Krafton went unusually generous with the freebies in this PUBG Mobile latest version. On July 9, logging in gets you a choice chest for one legendary Naruto character set - Akatsuki, Konoha Anbu, or Elite Hidden Leaf Ninja. Playing matches earns the Young Naruto character set and the 4th Hokage cloak.

July 10 adds an emote (1,000 Years of Pain), two theme songs including "Blue Bird," and permanent voice packs for Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi. You also get a Naruto-themed lobby background for the season. Total free reward value is reportedly over $600 worth of in-game items when you factor in everything available through the event's full run.

PUBG Mobile Ferrari Collaboration

Four Ferrari models arrive as vehicle skins on July 10: Roma, Purosangue, LaFerrari, and SF90 XX Spider. These are gated behind events and token exchanges rather than direct purchase, so expect some grind or UC spending to collect the set. The LaFerrari in particular has been a sought-after addition since Ferrari collaborations started - previous runs brought the 488 GTB and SF90 Stradale, and this lineup fills out the garage with both modern and classic models.

PUBG Mobile 4.5 Weapon Skins and Upgrades

Six weapons get new upgradeable skins with hit effects, kill effects, and animations: QBZ, M762, Kar98K, ACE32, S1897, and the DSLR. The M762 and Kar98K upgrades are the ones most players will care about - both are workhorse guns that show up in nearly every match. The new kill effects and elimination broadcasts are flashy but the real upgrade here is cosmetic progression for guns that competitive players actually use, not just the niche picks.

A new X-Suit (Druvaen) drops on August 1 with an upgradeable M1014 skin, and a Naruto Gilt set featuring Sage Mode and Six Paths forms of Naruto arrives August 23 with a Nine-Tails-themed final form.

PUBG Mobile 4.5 New Seasons and Passes

The update cycle packs three season rollouts into two weeks:

• Metro Royale new season - July 10, with fresh rewards including headgear, outfits, avatar frames, and nameplate borders
• A20 Royale Pass - July 16, featuring an emote, M16A4 skin, outfit sets, and the usual tiered free and paid rewards
• S31 Classic Season - July 16, bringing an SKS skin, parachute, helmet, and backpack cosmetics

If you're a Metro Royale player, the new season is the priority. Each Metro season reshuffles the loot economy and enemy placements, so it takes a few days to remap efficient routes. Classic mode players can coast on the S31 rewards while the Naruto mode is the real focus.

PUBG Mobile Spider-Man: A New Day Mode Returns July 30

Marvel fans get their turn two weeks into the patch. Spider-Man: A New Day returns on July 30 with wall-crawling, web-swinging, and a city makeover on Erangel. The web-shooter mobility from the previous Spider-Man event was genuinely fun - you could swing between buildings faster than any vehicle rotation. If the returning version keeps that speed and adds the new movie-themed skins that are being teased, it'll be worth jumping back in even if you've already exhausted the Naruto content.

Conclusion

PUBG Mobile 4.5 is live now. Is the Naruto crossover worth your time? The Naruto Shippuden collaboration runs through September 7, so you have two months to grind out all the free rewards and master the ninjutsu meta before it disappears. The Nine-Tails server event on July 17 is the can't-miss moment of the patch - a rare instance where the entire lobby fights the same boss.

You can download the latest PUBG Mobile 4.5 APK on APKPure, which updates within hours of each official rollout. The update is roughly 1.4 GB, so make sure you're on WiFi before hitting download.
