Remember Neymar Jr in Fortnite? The collaboration between soccer players and battle royale titles is not entirely new to the video game world. Still, not precisely everyone expected the introduction of Lionel Messi in PUBG Mobile.
The update came around the time of the World Cup in Qatar. In this regard, a trailer of the PUBG Mobile x Lionel Messi initiative was released on YouTube on November 19, 2022.
What content can players find in-game?
In the video, we see a Messi more intent on dribbling opponents and performing backhands than participating in Battle Royale. Still, the gist is that PUBG Mobile update 2.3 brought a Lionel Messi-themed event with it.
As part of the PUBG Mobile Global Chicken Cup featuring Lionel Messi as a special guest, various activities related to the soccer player and soccer, in general, are available. For example, there is a chance to find Messi's golden shoe (who said speed boost?) and no shortage of makeovers related to multiple maps. In short, PUBG Mobile players can unearth many event-related items and novelties during matches.
