A Regular Player’s Look Back at the 2025 PUBG Global Partner Team Skins

In early 2026, a regular player named Ethan opened his PUBG locker and found himself staring at a handful of items that still turned heads in the pre-match lobby. The second batch of PUBG Global Partner Team Edition Skins for the 2025 season had landed months earlier, but their glow had not faded. Five teams — The Expendables, Team Falcons, Gen.G, Petrichor Road, and 17 Gaming — had each left a small fingerprint on the game, and Ethan could not help but treat the collection like a time capsule from a season that refused to be quiet.

When Ethan first inspected the sets, the details felt less like cosmetics and more like small pieces of armor pulled from a traveling museum. Each set contained either a team-themed jacket or a weapon skin, plus a unique nameplate that gleamed like a small enamel crest — the kind a wanderer might sew onto a battered coat after crossing an entire continent. The SLR skin from The Expendables rested on the screen like a viper coiled in brushed shadow, all stillness until the shot snapped. Team Falcons brought an M16A4 that looked as if it had been machined from cold desert wind, while Gen.G offered a Level 3 backpack that seemed ready to carry both loot and reputation. Petrichor Road and 17 Gaming each added a Jacket_PJ, turning the torso into a banner of loyalty rather than simple fabric.

The full lineup could be read like a compact ledger of pride:

Team	Featured Item	Bonus
The Expendables	SLR	Nameplate
Team Falcons	M16A4	Nameplate
Gen.G	Backpack Lv.3	Nameplate
Petrichor Road	Jacket_PJ	Nameplate
17 Gaming	Jacket_PJ	Nameplate

Ethan remembered the community conversation around the revenue share. Twenty-five percent of PUBG’s net sales from these items went directly to the Global Partner Teams. It was not a thunderclap of funding, but a slow tributary feeding the competitive scene — small, steady, and meaningful. Every purchase became a quiet vote of confidence, helping favorite organizations pay for bootcamps, travel, and the endless repetition of practice. In a game built on survival, the financial model felt surprisingly collaborative.

The sales window had been clearly marked across regions. On PC, the collection ran from October 22 to November 19, 2025, while console players received a slightly shifted schedule from October 23 to November 20, 2025. Time zones turned the dates into a small puzzle, but the table below made it easier:

Platform	UTC	KST	CEST	PDT
PC	Oct 22, 2 AM – Nov 19, 12 AM	Oct 22, 11 AM – Nov 19, 9 AM	Oct 22, 4 AM – Nov 19, 2 AM	Oct 23, 7 PM – Nov 20, 5 PM
Console	Oct 23, 2 AM – Nov 20, 12 AM	Oct 23, 11 AM – Nov 20, 9 AM	Oct 23, 4 AM – Nov 20, 2 AM	Oct 24, 7 PM – Nov 21, 5 PM

There was also a note that these items might return later through other in-game platforms such as the Workshop or Your Shop, or through promotional events. For Ethan, that note acted like a faint trail of breadcrumbs left in a forest — unlikely to feed every hungry collector immediately, but enough to keep hope alive. By 2026, that possibility still lingered, which meant latecomers could keep watching the Workshop or Your Shop rotations for the same emblems without bending time backward.

Looking back, Ethan understood why the second batch mattered. It was not just about cosmetics. The jackets, weapon skins, and nameplates functioned as small, wearable stories of five teams that had earned a place in the global partnership program. They turned an ordinary loadout into a personal flag, and they gave players a way to support rosters beyond simply watching matches. 🎯 For a regular player, that was more than enough reason to open the store, make a choice, and carry a little team pride into the next circle.
