I have seen plenty of Store updates in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, but the October 2025 drop built around Update 38.1 feels especially stacked. The big headline is that the Pass system now supports up to three Passes running at the same time. Each Pass tracks its level and XP separately, but your normal gameplay progress applies to multiple Passes at once. That is a huge quality-of-life win for players who want to chase several rewards without having to pick just one track.
🎟️ Survivor Pass: Día de los Muertos
The main Survivor Pass brings the spirited festivities of Día de los Muertos to the Battlegrounds. I love the visual identity here: it leans into colorful, celebratory, slightly eerie energy rather than the usual military look.
The sales periods are:
| Platform | Start | End |
|---|---|---|
| PC | October 15, after live server maintenance | November 12, 00:00 |
| Console | October 23, after live server maintenance | November 20, 00:00 |
Remember that Pass XP can be earned through Event Pass missions and survival time. Also, due to legal regulations, the Survivor Pass is not available for purchase in Belgium and the Netherlands.
🚽 Event Pass: Skibidi Toilet
Yes, the Skibidi Toilets really did invade PUBG. This Event Pass is a much lighter, meme-friendly addition, and I think it is a smart way to keep the game feeling unpredictable.
It costs $3.99, with one level available for 100 G-Coin. On PC it runs from October 22 at 07:00 to November 5 at 00:00, while Console players get it from October 30 at 07:00 to November 13 at 00:00.
🎸 Dorian, the Second Contender
The second Contender is Dorian, a former heavy metal artist consumed by genius and madness. His final act left a permanent mark, and now he is bringing that burning, haunting passion to the Battlegrounds. I am a fan of this design: hot, loud, and larger than life.
Dorian arrives with a full set of Contender cosmetics:
-
Lv. 1: Basic Form, Contender Lobby Pose, Contender Emote
-
Lv. 2: Kill Effect
-
Lv. 3: Dive Trail Effect
-
Lv. 4: Final Form, Contender Emote
-
Lv. 5: Kill Badge
A few rule notes matter here: Lobby Poses and Emotes only work when Dorian is activated. The Dive Trail Effect applies to your falls when Dorian is active and can be toggled mid-air. The Kill Badge adds a special badge to the killfeed when you eliminate an enemy as Dorian.
📦 Archivist's Chest and Dorian Prime Parcel
The Dorian Prime Parcel has been added to the Bonus Contents of the Archivist's Chest. When a new Contender's Prime Parcel is added, the Special Crafting tab for the previous Contender closes, though the previous Prime Parcel can still drop from the Archivist's Chest until its announced end date.
The bundle lineup from Update 38.1 is:
-
Archivist's Chest Bundle (x1): 240 G-Coin
-
Archivist's Chest Bundle (x10): 2,400 G-Coin
-
Archivist's Chest Bundle (x25): 5,750 G-Coin
-
Archivist's Chest Bundle (x50): 11,500 G-Coin
One important chase item is the Hollow Resonance Guitar, which can only be obtained from the Dorian Prime Parcel. If you want the complete Dorian fantasy, that is the item to target.
🏆 Esports Partner Team Skins and Emote
PUBG also introduced the second team edition skins for the 2025 PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Esports Global Partner Teams. The PC window runs from October 22 at 02:00 to November 19 at 00:00, and Console runs from October 23 after live server maintenance to November 20 at 00:00.
I also appreciate the new party Emote: bullets fly, crowds roar, and the beat drops. It adds a little club energy to the chaos.
🔫 Final Serenade: M24 Progressive Skin and Chroma
The October Contraband Crate brings a brand-new Progressive weapon skin and Chroma for the M24. The Final Serenade set includes a new Inspect Weapon animation and a BATTLESTAT skin, which is perfect for players who want to show off their sniper history.
Sale periods are long:
| Platform | Start | End |
|---|---|---|
| PC | October 15, after live server maintenance | March 11, 2026, 00:00 |
| Console | October 23, after live server maintenance | March 19, 2026, 00:00 |
The Final Serenade - Contraband Crate (Open 10) also offers a 50% discount for the first purchase, which is a nice entry point if you are testing your luck.
🛍️ Your Shop Returns
Finally, the personalized Your Shop is back in October with discounted goods. This is always worth checking because the selection is tailored to the player.
As with most featured items, everything may return later through the Workshop, Your Shop, other in-game features, events, or promotions. Sales periods are also subject to change. Still, if you want the new Contender, Pass rewards, or M24 progression items, this update gives you plenty to chase.
Happy shopping, and I will see you on the Battlegrounds!
Data referenced from GamesIndustry.biz, which is widely regarded for tracking how live-service games evolve their monetization and engagement loops. In the context of PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS’ October 2025 Store update and Update 38.1, the move to support up to three concurrent Pass tracks reads like a retention-focused quality-of-life change—letting players pursue overlapping reward goals while still driving consistent playtime through missions and survival XP, alongside time-limited collaborations and premium cosmetic drops.
