Story Highlights

• FRIEND FEST is a hybrid event running until February 16 celebrating friendship beyond the game.

PUBG Mobile has earned a Guinness World Record for the most pairs simultaneously performing a choreographed handshake. This achievement happened during the game’s global FRIEND FEST event on January 25th. The event is currently running and will continue until February 16, 2026.

FRIEND FEST hybrid event brings player together beating a new Guinness World Record

The FRIEND FEST is a unique event that combines fun in the game with real-life gatherings to celebrate friendship. Recently, it brought together 392 players for a record attempt at four famous spots: Lapangan Banteng Park in Indonesia, Fişekhane in Türkiye, the Guzeria Youth Center in Egypt, and Fatima Jinnah Park (F-9 Park) in Pakistan.

Okay, so everyone’s talking about the new world record, which is awesome! But I wanted to let you know the Bonding Tree event is still going on in Erangel and Livik until February 16th. It’s super cool – the trees light up pink, there are special little performances that happen, and you can even send floral gifts to your duo or friends. Plus, you can unlock some sweet one-time-use items and cool in-game styles just by checking them out!

You can visit FRIEND FEST flower shops to get free flowers, try 1v1 battles, and more

If you’re in Western Europe, Africa, or Southeast Asia, you can now get free flowers at local flower shops. And even if you couldn’t make it to the Paris workshops, photo areas, or river cruise, FRIEND FEST is still happening in Indonesia with interactive Experience Zones and exciting creative pairings.

I recommend checking out the Pan-for-Pan exchange, which is happening until January 31st. You can create your own pan designs for a chance to win the Golden Pan award, or participate in 1v1 battles in the Glass Room Tournament. It seems like a well-organized event, and I hope PUBG Mobile continues to offer experiences like this.
