PUBG: Battlegrounds Adds Xeno Point Mode in Latest Update

PUBG: Battlegrounds has a new update available that adds the new PvE roguelite mode Xeno Point, along with two crossovers

Krafton released a new update this week for PUBG: Battlegrounds, adding a brand-new mode to the game to spice things up with a different kind of gameplay. The new mode is called Xeno Point, which brings a co-op PvE roguelite battle to the game as you'll fight off an alien threat with other players. You'll also see a new crossover from the game Stellar Blade that will have items based on protagonist EVE, as well as the return of a collaboration with K-pop group aespa to pick up some of the items you may have missed the first time. We have the full notes below from the team, along with the full Updater 41.1 Update patch notes on their website, as well as a couple of videos to check out, as the content is now live.

Fight Off Aliens In The Latest PUBG: Battlegrounds Mode

Xeno Point Mode

Xeno Point is a co-op PvE roguelite mode where players take on an alien threat that has overtaken Miramar. Built around a cosmic horror theme, the mode blends PUBG's grounded combat with extraterrestrial enemies, abilities, and technology to deliver a different experience with each run through randomized stages and character progression. Players begin in a central hub, complete missions across multiple regions, and push into higher-tier zones before facing the final boss, the Architect.

Along the way, they can customize their playstyle with Blue Chip Skills built for offense, defense, or support, use Super abilities powered by alien energy, and strengthen their characters across repeated sessions. A range of mission types and progression paths helps make each run feel distinct. Players can also wield the signature Xeno Cannon weapon, while Event Pass: Xeno Point launches alongside the mode. To mark the new mode launch, Krafton will host the Xeno Point Streamer Challenge, a global competition for Twitch and Kick creators with a total prize pool of $100,000. Registration opens April 4, with PC and console events running through April 23. Full details will be available on the official PUBG website.

Stellar Blade Crossover

Update 41.1 also introduces a crossover with the hit action game Stellar Blade, bringing protagonist EVE into PUBG through the Contender System, a Workshop feature that lets players unlock and customize premium character sets. Best known in Stellar Blade as humanity's "Savior," EVE is reimagined in PUBG through a survival-focused lens, delivering a new version of the character tailored for the Battlegrounds. The EVE content includes multiple character looks, including her signature suit and casual outfit, as well as themed emotes, lobby poses, kill effects, and drop trail effects. Additional items include a helmet and backpack set, a machete skin, an energy drink skin, a parachute, weapon charms, and sprays.

aespa Collaboration Returns

By popular demand, the aespa collaboration will return for a limited time, bringing back themed outfits, emote packs, weapon skins, frying pan skins, and parachutes inspired by the global K-pop group from April 22 to April 30.

Additional Gameplay Updates

Update 41.1 also includes several gameplay and systems updates. Destructible terrain has been expanded to Erangel, and a new Level 3 Jammer Pack has been added. In addition, players can now call in supply drops using enemy team Blue Chips at Blue Chip Transmitter Towers, creating new strategic opportunities during matches.
