It has been nearly eight years since PUBG Mobile first launched, and the game is getting ready to celebrate a massive milestone. In March 2026, the game will officially turn eight years old. To mark this special occasion, the developers are bringing back some of the most requested items and game modes from the past. According to recent leaks and beta gameplay, the PUBG Mobile 8th Anniversary update is packed with nostalgia, free rewards, and the return of a fan-favorite weapon skin.
PUBG Mobile 8th Anniversary Rewards: The Return of The Fool M416
The biggest news for collectors is the potential return of The Fool M416. Leaks from the Version 4.2 calendar suggest that an “Anniversary Favorites Crate” will arrive on March 6, 2026.
For BGMI players, this will likely be called the “Legacy Loot Crate.” If you have been waiting to unlock this upgradable M416 skin, this event might be your best chance. There is also a “Wild Soul Wanderer” spin expected around February 20, giving players multiple opportunities to get high-tier skins before the anniversary officially begins.

New Mode: Evolving Universe
The anniversary update will introduce a new themed mode called “Evolving Universe.” This mode is a trip down memory lane. On the map, players will find special “Vaults” marked with different years. To open them, you need to level up your passive skills during the match.
Inside these vaults, you will find items and features from previous years:
- 2021 & 2022 Vaults: Players have found the Snow Ghillie Suit and powerful weapons like the Groza.
- 2023 Vault: This vault brings back the Dinosaur (Velociraptor) from the Dino Ground mode. While you cannot ride it in the beta version yet, it is a fun callback to the past.
- 2024 Vault: This area features elements from the Frost Festival, including the flying ship and market vans.
UC Up Event and Release Date
Many players are asking about the next UC Up event. Leaks suggest it could arrive alongside the Ultimate Set on February 20 or with the Anniversary Crate on March 6.
The global update is expected to roll out in the next few weeks, likely in mid-March. Get your squad ready, because the 8th Anniversary is going to be a massive celebration of PUBG Mobile’s history!
