The fourth season of Jujutsu Kaisen isn't here yet, but that doesn't mean fans have nothing to do in the meantime. The shōnen franchise is still a powerhouse IP, and it's no surprise to see that there's more in store than just the continuation of the anime adaptation.

In particular, Jujutsu Kaisen is getting busy in the world of video games, with the previously announced Jujutsu Kaisen Rumble: Survivaton being one exciting project on the horizon. While that game still has no release date beyond a 2026 window, a major new online game collaboration officially landed on PC today.

Jujutsu Kaisen has now come to PUBG: Battlegrounds, as announced earlier this week on the official PUBG website. Today, the PUBG: Battlegrounds X account shared the event has kicked off on PC, while console players will get access to the collaboration one week from now on September 17.

The PUBG x Jujutsu Kaisen crossover offers "Jujutsu Kaisen-themed battlegrounds" across Normal, Ranked, and Casual matches, including a variety of themed details across various maps. All maps have received Jujutsu Kaisen Boxes, themed Care Packages, and an overhauled airplane livery. Erangel, meanwhile, also gets themed warehouses with Jujutsu Kaisen standees, photo spots, and vending machines, along with billboards boasting anime designs.

Jujutsu Kaisen has also infected various weapons in the game, with new Progressive weapon skins and Contraband and Cargo offering a chance to receive themed items. The store contains Jujutsu Kaisen crafter packs and Step Up Packs for those looking to spend some money.

It's all a far cry from PUBG's typical style, but the initially grounded style has given way to plenty of themed collaborations in the past. Some of the wilder ones have been exclusive to the mobile version of the game, like Naruto and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but the PC and console versions have still received crossovers ranging from the K-pop group Aespa to Street Fighter.

While PUBG originally cost $39.99, it eventually went free-to-play, so fans of Jujutsu Kaisen who haven't previously checked out the battle royale won't need to make an upfront payment to enjoy the collaboration.

For PUBG players uninterested in Jujutsu Kaisen, the update also comes with some gameplay overhauls, like the ability to pick up and use items without opening an inventory screen. Regardless of which aspect is drawing you in, it seems like as good a time to play a few PUBG matches as ever.
