PUBG Global Partner Team Skins Are Live at 990 G-Coin Each, With Console Access on August 20
The first wave of 2026 PUBG Global Partner Team skins went on sale on PC at 02:00 UTC today, priced at 990 G-Coin per team set, and each set contains exactly two items — a jacket and a nameplate. Six of the twelve Global Partner Teams are in this batch: Gen.G, Petrichor Road, FULL SENSE, 17Gaming, eArena and Virtus.pro. Console players on PS5 and Xbox do not get access until after live server maintenance on August 20.
What each PUBG Global Partner Team skins set includes
Every set is priced identically and built the same way. There is no bundle discount for buying more than one, and no set contains a weapon skin or a full outfit — the jacket is the only wearable piece.
- GEN.G 2026 SET — GPT 2026 Gen.G Esports Jacket, GPT 2026 Gen.G Esports Nameplate
- PETRICHOR ROAD 2026 SET — GPT 2026 Petrichor Road Jacket, GPT 2026 Petrichor Road Nameplate
- FULL SENSE 2026 SET — GPT 2026 FULL SENSE Jacket, GPT 2026 FULL SENSE Nameplate
- 17GAMING 2026 SET — GPT 2026 17Gaming Jacket, GPT 2026 17Gaming Nameplate
- EARENA 2026 SET — GPT 2026 eArena Jacket, GPT 2026 eArena Nameplate
- Virtus.pro 2026 SET — GPT 2026 Virtus.pro Jacket, GPT 2026 Virtus.pro Nameplate
G-Coin is PUBG's premium currency and is bought in fixed bundles, so the real-money cost of 990 G-Coin depends on which bundle you buy and what your regional storefront charges. There is no G-Coin bundle that lines up exactly with one set, which in practice means a leftover balance.
The two sales windows are different lengths
This is the part worth checking before you decide to wait. The PC and console runs are not the same, and console players get a shorter window that starts three days later.
- PC: August 17 at 02:00 UTC through September 10 at 00:00 UTC
- Console: after live server maintenance on August 20, through September 17 at 00:00 UTC
The developer has said the items may return later through other in-game channels — the Workshop, Your Shop, or events and promotions — even once these sales periods close. That is a stated possibility, not a scheduled return, so nothing here confirms a specific second chance.
Where the money goes
Krafton has committed 25% of PUBG net sales from the Team Edition skins to the Global Partner teams. That figure is net sales, not gross revenue, so it is calculated after platform and other deductions rather than off the sticker price.
The timing is not accidental. PUBG Esports is in the middle of Circuit 3 of the PUBG Global Series, running in Shanghai from August 5 to 23 with a $500,000 prize pool across PGS 7, PGS 8 and PGS 9. PGS 9 — the circuit final, and the largest of the three at $300,000 — starts its Survival Stage on August 20, the same day console players get the skins.
Six teams now, six missing
Twelve Global Partner Teams compete in the 2026 season, and only six have sets in this release. Krafton has called these the first Team Edition skins of the year, which implies more are coming, but it has not named the remaining teams, given a date, or confirmed that every partner team will get one. Treat a second wave as likely rather than announced.
If you play the mobile version instead, none of this applies — PUBG Mobile runs a separate store, a separate currency and separate esports cosmetics. Our full PUBG Mobile achievements list covers what is actually earnable there without spending, and the On a Mission title grind guide breaks down the kill counts involved.
Should you buy before September 10
If you support one of these six teams, the deadline is real and the PC window closes first. If you are buying for the cosmetic rather than the team, a jacket and a nameplate is a thin set at this price, and the developer's own note about items reappearing through the Workshop suggests waiting carries less risk than a hard-expiring item usually would.
Anyone hunting achievements alongside the cosmetics can work through our guide to the First Rule Is achievement in PUBG, and if you would rather not broadcast your session while you grind, here is how to appear offline on Steam.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do the PUBG Global Partner Team skins cost?
Each 2026 Team Edition set costs 990 G-Coin, and every set is the same price. G-Coin is PUBG's premium currency and is sold in fixed bundles, so the real-money amount depends on which bundle you buy and your regional storefront pricing. There is no discount for buying more than one set.
Which teams have PUBG Team Edition skins right now?
Six of the twelve 2026 Global Partner Teams are in this first wave: Gen.G, Petrichor Road, FULL SENSE, 17Gaming, eArena and Virtus.pro. Krafton described these as the first Team Edition skins of the year but has not named the remaining six teams or given a date for a second wave.
When do the PUBG team skins leave the store?
On PC the sales period runs from August 17 at 02:00 UTC to September 10 at 00:00 UTC. On console it starts after live server maintenance on August 20 and ends September 17 at 00:00 UTC. The console window opens three days later but closes a week after the PC one.
What is included in each PUBG team set?
Two items — a team jacket and a matching nameplate. There are no weapon skins, vehicle skins or full outfits in these sets. The jacket is the only piece your character actually wears in a match.
Do the teams get any money from these skins?
Krafton has said 25% of PUBG net sales from the Team Edition skins goes to the Global Partner teams. That is calculated on net sales rather than the gross sticker price, so the amount reaching a team is less than a quarter of what you pay at the store.
