What’s a good way to beat the summer heat? PUBG: Battlegrounds has launched two special summer events that hope to keep you refreshed in this rather sizzling weather. There’s only one issue: it's exclusive to PC players on Steam.

The reason for this seems to be technical issues. However, a check-in event with identical rewards is planned for consoles during the July Special Drops.

Check-in to Survive

The first game is Check-in to Survive. The event starts July 13 and ends July 27. Here’s how the event works:

  • Access the game within the period mentioned.
  • Press the Special Summer Event banner in the lobby. The banner should take you to the event website.
  • ​Click the Join Event button within the first week of the event period and you immediately get 3 Life.
    • The Join Event button is going to be disabled beginning on Day 8.
    • Be sure to join within the first 7 days for that permanent reward.
  • Scroll down and make sure to press the Check-in Button to receive the daily Life as well.
    • Get the Summer Surf - Mini14 (3 Days), through the customize tab.
  • ​The time-limited use of Summer Surf – Mini14 can be extended by checking in every day.
  • To change your 3-day Mini14 skin to permanent items, be sure that your Life does not drop to 0 during the event period and until the last day of the event.
    • Access the event website any time through the lobby banner to check your current Life and check-in progress.
  • ​Press the Check-In button at the event website each day and receive 1 Life PER check-in.
    • 1 Life will get DEPLETED per day that you don't check in.
    • The Check-In button resets at 5:00 a.m. EDT every day.

As mentioned, the reward for those able to maintain more than 1 Life is the permanent item Summer Surf – Mini14 skin.

Play and Earn

The second event invites everyone to Play & Earn Survival Points. This event starts July 13 and ends July 27. Here's how the event works:

  • Access the game within the period mentioned.
  • Press the Special Summer Event banner in the lobby. The banner should take you to the event website.
  • ​Click the Join Event button.
  • Scroll down and press the Check-In button for your daily check-in.
    • The Check-In button resets at 5:00 a.m. EDT every day.
  • ​Go back to the game and play for at least 30 minutes.
    • The check-in is counted when your cumulative time of survival/spectating teammates reaches at least 30 minutes per day.
    • Applies to Normal/Ranked matches only.
    • Tutorial, Training, and Arcade modes are not counted.
  • You receive 10 Points per weekday and 20 Points per weekend.
  • Exchange your points for in-game rewards at the Survival Point Shop through the Special Summer Event website.
    • Press the Exchange button for your desired reward.
    • The exchanged rewards are immediately sent to the CUSTOMIZE tab.
Here are possible rewards for this event:
  • Contraband Coupon x10 (40 points)
    • Can be exchanged once per account.
  • Emote - Victory Dance 93 (40 points)
    • Can be exchanged once per account.
  • Tied Baseball Jersey (40 points)
