The lines between gaming and real-world adrenaline blurred in the best way possible as PUBG MOBILE took over the 1 Utama Skate Park last weekend for its electrifying Skate Jam.
Held in celebration of the Version 3.9 Update, the event introduced fans and skaters alike to a revolutionary new in-game feature — the Cosmic Hoverboard — and offered an unforgettable mashup of extreme sports and battle royale excitement.
With over 200 attendees, the Skate Jam wasn’t just a promotional event; it was a cultural crossover where skaters, gamers, and content creators came together to shred both the pavement and the digital battlefield.
The Hoverboard Has Landed
Central to the Version 3.9 Update is the brand-new Cosmic Hoverboard, a futuristic way for players to zoom across the battleground in style and speed.
PUBG MOBILE used the Skate Jam to let fans experience the high-speed thrill of this game-changing mobility option in a setting that naturally celebrates fast-paced tricks and style.
With hoverboards being the digital counterpart to skateboards, it made perfect sense for PUBG MOBILE to launch this update in collaboration with the local skateboarding scene.
Tricks, Cash & Glory at the Skate Jam
The Skate Jam wasn’t just about watching — it was all about participation and competition. Skaters of all skill levels brought their A-game to the park, competing in two headline contests: Cash for Tricks and the Game of Skate tournament.
In the Cash for Tricks challenge, participants attempted specific skateboarding tricks for a chance to earn a portion of the RM5,000 prize pool. Creativity, style, and precision were on full display as the crowd cheered for every successful trick landed.
Meanwhile, the Game of Skate was a test of consistency and technical prowess. 16 elite skaters went head-to-head in a single-elimination format, replicating each other’s moves in a fierce battle for supremacy.
In the end, Sora emerged as the champion, with Gee taking second place and Acap rounding out the podium.
Local Skate Legends & PUBG Pros Join the Fun
PUBG MOBILE didn’t hold back when it came to special appearances. Popular skateboarding influencers such as Daddyhood and Nizar/Ja turned up to show their support, further energizing the crowd and showcasing the strength of Malaysia’s skateboarding scene.
To bridge the gap between gaming and skating, members from Homebois’ PUBG MOBILE team also made an appearance alongside Thieves Skateboards, creating an intersection of two thriving communities — esports and street culture.
Speaking about the success of the event, Eugene Chin, Country Manager (Malaysia) for Tencent Games, said:
“The sheer turnout and vibrant energy at this event have left me incredibly proud. It was an absolute triumph within our Malaysian gaming and skateboarding community, especially as we celebrate the exciting new features in our Version 3.9 Update.
This event reflects our strong dedication to creating not only immersive gameplay, but also unforgettable real-world experiences that truly resonate with our players and community.”
