PUBG × IVE Collaboration: LOVE DIVE Skins, Emotes & Events

K-pop girl group IVE has teamed up with PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS for a special in-game collaboration inspired by their hit song “LOVE DIVE”!

Announced by KRAFTON in October 2026, the collaboration brings IVE's music, fashion, and visual identity into the popular battle royale game. Players can explore special IVE-themed locations, use character skins based on all six members, and enjoy dance emotes inspired by the group's songs.

The collaboration launched on PC on November 4, 2026, with the console version scheduled to follow on November 12.



IVE Brings the World of “LOVE DIVE” to PUBG

The collaboration takes inspiration from IVE's popular song “LOVE DIVE” and its iconic music video.

Three special areas inspired by memorable scenes and visual elements from the music video have been added to the Rondo map. These locations recreate parts of the song's visual atmosphere within the PUBG universe, allowing players to experience the collaboration while exploring the battlefield.

The collaboration also introduces IVE-themed decorations and interactive features throughout the game.

One of the main attractions is the IVE Mansion, located within the IVE Spot area on Rondo. Players can visit the location, discover special content, and interact with features inspired by the group.


All Six IVE Members Receive Their Own Character Skins

A major highlight of the collaboration is the introduction of character appearances based on all six IVE members.

Each member has an individual character skin, allowing players to represent their favorite IVE member during gameplay.

The collaboration also includes themed outfits, hairstyles, accessories, gear, and weapon-related items. These cosmetics bring IVE's recognizable styling into the world of PUBG.

Players can obtain the member sets through the collaboration's IVE Cargo system and Special Crafting.



Dance Emotes Inspired by IVE's Hit Songs

Music and performance are at the center of the PUBG × IVE collaboration.

Several dance emote sets inspired by IVE's songs are available, including:

  • “ELEVEN”
  • “LOVE DIVE”
  • “BANG BANG”
  • “BLACKHOLE”


These emotes allow players to recreate elements of IVE's performances inside the game.

Special IVE Emote Stages have also been added to the starting islands of selected maps. When players perform a compatible IVE emote on these stages, the corresponding music video plays during the animation. On console, album images are displayed instead of the music videos.

IVE music can also be heard in vehicles equipped with music playback features, adding another layer to the collaboration.


Explore IVE-Themed Locations and Special In-Game Features

Beyond character skins and dance emotes, the collaboration introduces several interactive elements.

IVE Spots on Rondo

Three IVE-themed areas have been added to Rondo, near NEOX Factory, Yu Lin, and Hung Shan. These locations feature decorations inspired by the group and include interactive content.


IVE Roulette

Players can interact with the IVE Roulette at the IVE Spot to play a random IVE song.


Cupid's Crossbow and Cupid Chicken Man

The collaboration also introduces a special Cupid's Crossbow and Cupid Chicken Man.

The Cupid's Crossbow functions similarly to the standard crossbow, but its special ammunition does not damage other players. Players can use it to hit Cupid Chicken Man, which may drop a Cupid's Egg after receiving enough hits.

Using the egg grants a random IVE outfit set or Cupid Chicken Man set for use during that match. These temporary items disappear when the match ends.


IVE-Themed Care Packages

Care Packages across the maps have also received special IVE-inspired designs, adding more collaboration details to regular gameplay.



How to Get IVE Collaboration Items

Players can obtain collaboration cosmetics through the in-game Workshop and Supply Bay.

The IVE Cargo system allows players to use IVE Cargo Tickets or G-Coin to draw for various rewards, including member outfit sets, emote sets, and additional themed items.

Each draw costs:

  • 1 draw: 250 G-Coin or 1 IVE Cargo Ticket
  • 10 draws: 2,500 G-Coin or 10 IVE Cargo Tickets

Players can also earn IVE Tokens through the system and exchange them for selected collaboration items through Special Crafting.

The available crafting items include all six member outfit sets, gear and weapon sets, and the four song-inspired emote sets.

Additional cumulative draw rewards include an exclusive “Looks Can Kill” emote, an IVE-themed pan, and an IVE parachute.



PUBG × IVE Collaboration Events and Special Rewards

Several limited-time events are running alongside the collaboration.

PUBG × IVE Missions

Players can complete missions such as entering the lobby, surviving for a total of 30 minutes, performing an IVE dance at an Emote Stage, visiting the IVE Mansion on Rondo, and using the IVE Roulette.

Available rewards include:

  • Supply Loot Cache ×2
  • Contraband Coupon ×20
  • IVE Cargo Ticket ×2


For players who collect all six member outfits, the Collector event offers another challenge. By equipping each member's outfit and completing the required missions, players can earn an IVE Stage custom lobby skin.


PUBG × IVE Web Event

A special collaboration website also opened on November 2, 2026. Players can explore an IVE-themed virtual room, interact with different objects, and discover hidden collaboration content.

The website event includes a merchandise giveaway featuring:

Collaboration Schedule: PC and Console

The collaboration is being introduced in stages depending on the platform.

  • PC: November 4, 2026, after live server maintenance
  • Console: November 12, 2026, after live server maintenance

The main collaboration content and limited-time events have separate end dates, so players should check the official PUBG announcement for the schedule applicable to their platform.

Final Thoughts

The PUBG × IVE collaboration brings together K-pop music and battle royale gameplay through a wide range of themed content.

From six individual member character skins and dance emotes to the “LOVE DIVE”-inspired locations on Rondo, the collaboration gives fans multiple ways to experience IVE inside the game.

With additional interactive features, special missions, and a limited-time web event offering exclusive merchandise, this collaboration offers more than just cosmetic items.
