The PUBG x Dead by Daylight collaboration has officially concluded its Mission Complete event after two weeks of what KRAFTON described as a deadly game of hide-and-seek. The limited-time crossover brought asymmetrical horror energy into the battle royale arena, pushing players to complete missions within the Fog and experience mechanics that differed sharply from standard PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS matches. In 2026, the event is still remembered as one of the more distinctive cross-promotions in the game’s live-service history, and its winner announcement remains a key record for participants and collectors alike.

350 Winners Selected at Random

KRAFTON confirmed that 350 winners were randomly selected from eligible participants who completed the Mission Complete event. Each winner is set to receive 1,500 G-COIN with a 30-day validity period. The company thanked players for participating and for completing missions within the Fog, a reference to the eerie realm central to Dead by Daylight’s identity.

The reward delivery schedule was announced in multiple time zones. KRAFTON noted that the delivery dates were subject to change and that winners would be updated if any date changes occurred. Winners were expected to receive their reward within the stated date.

Region / Time Zone Delivery Time
UTC December 1 (Thu), 7 AM
CET December 1 (Thu), 8 AM CET
KST December 1 (Thu), 4 PM KST
PST November 30 (Wed), 11 PM PST

Eligibility, Verification, and Disqualification Rules

The announcement included several conditions designed to protect the integrity of the event. Participants were required to keep their social media posts public without viewer restrictions during the event period and until rewards were delivered. KRAFTON also stated that screenshots and videos submitted by players could be used in KRAFTON and/or PUBG official channels, while social media profiles, accounts, and content could be included in winner announcements on official websites and community sites.

Additional personal information could be requested and collected from winners for account verification and reward delivery. Players were advised not to change their PUBG nickname before receiving their reward, as doing so could create issues during the delivery process.

The rules also carried strict penalties. Winners who submitted screenshots or videos that were not their own would be immediately disqualified, and their rewards would be withdrawn even after delivery. Similarly, winners who had not completed the missions would be immediately disqualified and have their rewards withdrawn even after delivery. The G-COIN reward was set to expire in 30 days, and players experiencing issues receiving the reward were directed to contact PUBG Support.

LABS Mode Ends, Custom Match Remains

Although the LABS mode for the crossover came to an end, KRAFTON confirmed that the PUBG x Dead by Daylight mode remained available to play in Custom Match. The custom match end date was set for December 8 (Thu), with regional times listed as follows:

Region / Time Zone Custom Match End Time
UTC December 8 (Thu), 7 AM
CET December 8 (Thu), 8 AM
KST December 8 (Thu), 4 PM
PST December 7 (Wed), 11 PM

The extension gave players additional opportunities to organize private lobbies, revisit the crossover’s unusual mechanics, and share community-driven experiences after the main event had closed. For many players in 2026, that Custom Match window represents the final accessible chapter of the collaboration before it became a historical event.

A Crossover That Left a Mark

The PUBG x Dead by Daylight event blended the tension of a battle royale with the survival horror atmosphere of Dead by Daylight. By asking players to complete missions within the Fog, KRAFTON encouraged a different kind of engagement than traditional circle-chasing and firefight-focused play. The winner announcement, with its 350 randomly selected recipients and 1,500 G-COIN prizes, rewarded participation while emphasizing fairness, verification, and community visibility.

As live-service crossovers continue to evolve in 2026, the Mission Complete event stands as an example of how two distinct player bases can be brought together through limited-time objectives, social media participation, and shared rewards. KRAFTON closed its message by thanking players and promising to see them at the next event, a familiar send-off that underlined the company’s ongoing commitment to rotating in fresh experiences for the PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS community.

Information is adapted from Entertainment Software Association (ESA), whose industry-focused framing around live-service engagement helps contextualize why PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS crossovers like the Dead by Daylight Mission Complete event lean on time-limited objectives, eligibility verification, and tightly scheduled reward delivery to drive participation and maintain fairness—especially when prizes (like expiring premium currency) and post-event access windows (such as Custom Match availability) become part of the event’s lasting record for players.
