PUBG Mobile adds Ford Motor Cruise event with first monster truck finish

PUBG Mobile’s Ford Motor Cruise event turns vehicle cosmetics into the main prize chase, and the headline draw is hard to miss: the game’s first collaboration Monster Truck vehicle finish. The event runs from May 15 through July 7, 2026, giving players a limited window to pull for Ford-branded rewards instead of treating this as a simple brand tie-in.

The reward pool leans heavily into collectable flex items. Alongside the Monster Truck finish, the event features the Ford Mustang GTD and Ford F-150 Raptor R as the marquee vehicle finishes, plus car skins, weapon finishes, outfits, parachute skins, and other themed rewards. That makes Motor Cruise more than a logo swap. It is a full cosmetic package built around what players actually see in matches, especially if they care about rare ride skins and themed loadouts.

The catch is the monetization loop. Motor Cruise uses UC-based draws, then pushes players through an acceleration progress bar that can lead to Ford Lucky Tokens and skin redemption. There is also a safe acceleration option that costs extra UC, but offers a better chance at progress. In practical terms, that means the event is not built around a free grind path to the top prizes. The value proposition depends on how badly a player wants the Ford finishes and whether the extra UC spend feels justified for a Monster Truck, a Mustang GTD, or an F-150 Raptor R skin.

Ford also lands inside a busy Version 4.4 stretch for PUBG Mobile. The game’s news hub showed update-related posts on May 10 and May 13, 2026, while this collaboration arrives as the third straight branded tie-in in the patch cycle, following Harley-Davidson and Blue Lock. That puts Motor Cruise squarely inside PUBG Mobile’s current live-service playbook: use recognizable brands, rotate them quickly, and keep vehicle cosmetics at the center of the chase.

That strategy is nothing new for PUBG Mobile. The game has already built out a vehicle-culture lane through its P.D.P. creative program and past vehicle-finish design contests, so Ford’s arrival feels like an extension of an established system rather than a one-off stunt. For players, the takeaway is simple: Motor Cruise offers a real collectible, but the first Monster Truck finish in a collaboration sits inside a paid draw ladder, and that makes it a premium stop for collectors rather than a broad freebie for the whole lobby.
