PUBG August 2026 Store Update: Summer Getaway, Flamingo M79 Skins, and More

The eighth Store Update of 2026 has arrived, and I've just finished reading through the August 2026 Store Update for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS. My summer gaming plans have officially been rewritten. This update brings a sun-soaked Survivor Pass, a pair of flamboyant M79 weapon skins, a moody new collection called Final Passage, a streamer collaboration with XIAOHAI, special esports team skins, and the return of Your Shop. There's also an important note about credit balance adjustments coming in the September Update for certain collaboration items. I'm going to walk through everything I found, with dates and details, so you can plan your own shopping spree.

🏖️ Survivor Pass: Summer Getaway

The headline for me is SURVIVOR PASS: SUMMER GETAWAY. The tagline says it all: make this summer unforgettable. I've always enjoyed the themed passes, and this one looks like it's leaning hard into bright, beachy vibes. The sales period runs from August 12 after live server maintenance until September 9 at 00:00 UTC on PC, and from August 20 after maintenance until September 17 at 00:00 UTC on console. That gives PC players roughly four weeks and console players a similar window.

One thing I need to remember: as announced in the July Store Update, the Survivor Pass rewards have changed for August as well. The Survivor Crate has been replaced with two Hunter's Chests, and the Archivist's Chest has been replaced with one Cargo Ticket. That's a meaningful shift for anyone who was saving up for specific crate types. Also, probability-based items—including the Survivor Pass—are unavailable for purchase in Belgium and the Netherlands due to legal issues. I'll keep that in mind if I'm playing with friends from those regions.

🔥 Contraband Crate: Flamingo Fling

A new M79 weapon skin is waiting in August's Contraband Crate, and it's impossible to miss. The theme is all about blocking your enemies' line of sight with smoke in summer-themed colors. The image shows a bright pink flamingo design that feels equal parts ridiculous and tactical. I love it.

The new item is called FLAMINGO FLING - Contraband Crate (Open 10), and it offers a 50% discount for the first purchase. That's a tempting deal if I decide to try my luck. The sales period is long: from August 12 after maintenance until January 6, 2027, at 00:00 UTC on PC, and from August 20 after maintenance until January 14, 2027, at 00:00 UTC on console. Probability details for Contraband Crates can be found in the game's Contraband section, so I can check the odds before spending anything.

🛒 Scrap Broker Additions

If gambling on crates isn't my thing, the Scrap Broker has two new items: Pink Flamingo Fling - M79 and Blue Flamingo Fling - M79. These match the Contraband Crate theme and give me a more direct way to get the look. The sales period is identical to the crate: August 12 after maintenance until January 6, 2027, at 00:00 UTC on PC, and August 20 after maintenance until January 14, 2027, at 00:00 UTC on console. I appreciate that there's a non-random path to the same aesthetic.

🌑 Final Passage Collection

Shroud the battlefield in darkness with the FINAL PASSAGE collection and its old-world charm. That's the pitch, and the artwork definitely delivers a gothic, shadowy atmosphere that contrasts nicely with the summer pass. I'm a sucker for collections that feel like they have a story behind them.

The sales period is one of the longest I've seen: from August 12 after maintenance until May 12, 2027, at 00:00 UTC on PC, and from August 20 after maintenance until May 20, 2027, at 00:00 UTC on console. That's nearly nine months, so there's no rush—but I might still grab something early.

🎮 XIAOHAI Collaboration

A special collaboration with streamer XIAOHAI is coming, and the items are described as brimming with XIAOHAI's vibe. I don't know every streamer out there, but collaborations like this always bring something unique. The sales period is the same for PC and console: August 26 at 02:00 UTC until November 25 at 00:00 UTC. That's a tighter window than most, so I'll set a reminder.

🏆 Esports Global Partner Team Skins

Special edition skins for the 2026 PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Esports Global Partner Teams are also on the way. I always enjoy seeing how teams translate their branding into in-game cosmetics, and this year's lineup looks sharp.

The PC sales period runs from August 17 at 02:00 UTC until September 10 at 00:00 UTC. On console, it starts August 20 after maintenance and ends September 17 at 00:00 UTC. That's a short window, so esports fans should pay attention.

🛍️ Your Shop Returns

Your personalized shop, with incredible discounts, is reopening this August. I've had good luck with Your Shop in the past—it's always fun to see what the algorithm picks for me. The PC window is August 26 at 02:00 UTC until September 23 at 00:00 UTC. Console players get September 2 at 06:00 UTC until September 23 at 00:00 UTC.

⚠️ Credit Balance Adjustments in September

With the upcoming September Update, the crafting and disassembling credit balance for the collaboration items listed in the update will be adjusted. This follows the credit balance adjustments made to some Workshop items in Update 30.2. According to the announcement, these additional adjustments will align the credit balance of the remaining Workshop items. I don't have the exact item-by-item changes in front of me, but I'll be watching the official notes closely before I disassemble anything valuable.
