PUBG MOBILE's Naruto collaboration starts its free reward push on July 9, 2026 with the new Version 4.5 update. The most important part for collectors is simple: the July 9 reward lineup includes free permanent Naruto rewards, including the Naruto Outfit Set, Akatsuki Set, The Fourth's Cloak Set, emotes, songs, voice packs, cards, titles and lobby cosmetics. Not every reward is claimed from the same place, so players should update the game, check Login Rewards, open the Theme System, then go through the Event Center tasks before choosing an outfit.
The free Naruto reward rollout begins on July 9, 2026. The reward preview splits the content into several in-game routes instead of one single claim button. Some rewards are tied to updating the game, some are login rewards, some appear under the Theme System, and several are listed under Event Center activities.
First-day checklist: use this timeline to avoid missing a separate claim route.
| Date | Where to check | What to look for | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 9 | New version update | Naruto Main Theme and Shinobi Outset lobby background. | Claim after updating. |
| July 9 | Login Rewards | Limited-time finish crate, 7-day Naruto voice pack and 7-day 1,000 Years of Pain emote. | Easy first claim. |
| July 9 | Theme System | The Fourth's Cloak Set, listed as permanent. | High priority. |
| July 9 | Event Center | Perk Exchange, Protect the Hidden Leaf, Gallery Collection and Ninjutsu Test. | Main grind route. |
| July 17 | Event Center | Brothers in Arms Rally Order, inviting new or returning players into Naruto themed mode. | Squad/social route. |
The outfit board shows several Legendary Naruto-themed sets: Young Naruto Character Set, The Fourth's Cloak Set, Konoha Anbu Set, Akatsuki Set and Elite Hidden Leaf Ninja Set. The preview also says players can choose one free outfit from a selection, so do not rush the first claim if the final in-game crate lets you preview options. Open each set, check the front and back view, then pick the one you will actually wear.
Practical choice rule: match the set to the look you will actually use, not just the rarest name.
| Outfit | Best for | Before choosing |
|---|---|---|
| Young Naruto Character Set | Players who want the most recognizable Naruto look in the lobby and squad screen. | Check whether the mask/face treatment fits your style. |
| Akatsuki Set | Players who prefer a darker cloak silhouette and a more aggressive collab look. | Preview backpack and weapon clipping with the cloak if available. |
| The Fourth's Cloak Set | Players who want a bright Hokage-style outfit and a clean back-view design. | Check the Theme System route first, because this set is listed separately from Perk Exchange. |
| Konoha Anbu Set | Players who like a stealthier Hidden Leaf outfit with an Anbu-inspired design. | Compare it with Akatsuki if you want a darker set. |
| Elite Hidden Leaf Ninja Set | Players who want a classic ninja vest look that still feels close to PUBG MOBILE combat gear. | Check whether the final crate includes it before planning around it. |
Start with the safest path: update, log in, claim visible gifts, then check every event tab before spending or exchanging anything. Event pages often use separate progress bars, separate tokens and separate claim buttons. If you only open one tab, you can miss a free permanent reward that sits under another menu.
Use this route on day one:
Open the store or in-game update prompt, install the new version, then restart the game once. The new-version perk is tied to updating, so do this before hunting through event tabs.
Grab the easy claim rewards first, especially trial items and limited-time voice or emote rewards. These can help you test the Naruto theme before choosing a permanent cosmetic.
Look for The Fourth's Cloak Set and any theme-linked task. Since the reward preview lists this set as permanent, it should be checked before you spend time on lower-value timed rewards.
Check Perk Exchange, Protect the Hidden Leaf, Gallery Collection and Ninjutsu Test. Claim progress rewards one by one, and read whether any token should be saved for a final exchange.
If the final selection crate only lets you choose one set, compare all eligible outfits first. Permanent outfit regret hurts more than missing a small timed item.
The smartest July 9 strategy is to separate permanent rewards from trial rewards. A timed 7-day crate can be fun, but a permanent outfit, song, emote or voice pack has much more account value. Claim everything you can, but plan your attention around the rewards that stay.
| Reward group | Shown rewards | How to treat it |
|---|---|---|
| Permanent outfit rewards | Naruto Outfit Set, Naruto Legendary Set Selection Crate, The Fourth's Cloak Set and the displayed outfit board. | Highest priority. |
| Permanent music and voice | Naruto Main Theme, Blue Bird, Naruto/Sasuke/Sakura/Kakashi voice packs and basic edition voice pack rewards. | Claim before event ends. |
| Permanent emote | 1,000 Years of Pain emote is listed in both a timed login version and a permanent Perk Exchange version. | Do not stop at the 7-day version. |
| Timed cosmetics | 7-day finish crate, 7-day voice pack, 7-day emote, 7-day lobby background and 30-day name tag. | Good bonus, lower priority. |
| Collection rewards | Naruto cards, Valley of the End card, Minato Namikaze card, Nine-Tails Tailed Beast Ball card and collectible statues. | Complete if you enjoy galleries and titles. |
| Achievement/title route | Hidden Leaf Guardian epic title through a hidden achievement. | Track separately. May need a specific task. |
The Event Center is likely where most players will lose time, because the Naruto rewards are split across several named events. Build a quick loop: open the Event Center, check each Naruto tab, claim completed tasks, then enter the themed mode only after you know which missions are active.
Perk Exchange is the big one to watch because it lists several permanent rewards, including outfit-related rewards, emotes, music and voice packs. Protect the Hidden Leaf looks more mission-focused, with cards, a temporary lobby background, a name tag and a hidden achievement title. Gallery Collection and Ninjutsu Test appear to support card collection, which can matter if you want every Naruto profile or gallery item rather than only wearable cosmetics.
The July 17 Brothers in Arms Rally Order is different. It asks players to invite new or returning players to play the Naruto themed mode, earn points and share in a cash prize pool. If you only care about free cosmetics, this may not be your first priority on July 9. If you have inactive friends or an old squad returning for the Naruto update, mark July 17 so you can use the rally event properly.
Do not top up UC just to claim the free Naruto rewards listed in the preview. The free path is built around updating, logging in, Theme System rewards and Event Center tasks. UC only becomes relevant if the live July 9 event also opens paid crates, spins, Prize Path rewards, premium cosmetics or a separate paid collaboration shop that you personally want.
If you decide to spend after checking the live event, use a simple budget rule:
For more planning help, use the ManaBuy PUBG MOBILE UC budget guide before entering any paid draw. If the event uses crates, spins or a luck-based track, the PUBG MOBILE crate and lucky draw budget guide is the safer next read.
Mistake 1: claiming a one-time selection too quickly. Naruto collab outfits are highly style-driven, so use preview screens, rotate the model and compare how the set looks with your usual helmet, backpack and weapon skins.
Mistake 2: confusing timed rewards with permanent rewards. A 7-day Naruto voice pack or 7-day emote can look exciting on day one, but the permanent Perk Exchange rewards are the ones you want to finish before the event closes.
Mistake 3: ignoring the Event Center after the first login claim. The reward preview lists multiple Event Center paths, and the hidden achievement for the Hidden Leaf Guardian title may not be obvious from the first screen. Check event tabs after each match session.
Mistake 4: treating every pre-launch teaser as a complete patch note. The early reward lineup is enough to plan your claim order, but final task counts, event duration, server timing and exchange costs still need the in-game page on July 9.
The free Naruto reward preview points to July 9, 2026, alongside PUBG MOBILE Version 4.5. Update the game first, then check Login Rewards, Theme System and Event Center because the free rewards are split across different in-game routes.
The reward description labels the free Naruto outfit rewards as permanent, and the Event Center preview lists permanent outfit and selection-crate rewards. Still, check the final in-game item label before making a one-time selection.
The preview frames the listed Naruto rewards as free, with claim routes such as update rewards, login rewards, Theme System and Event Center tasks. UC should only matter if you choose to chase separate paid items after the update opens.
Choose the set you will actually use most. Young Naruto is the clearest main-character choice, Akatsuki is the strongest dark cloak look, and Elite Hidden Leaf or Konoha Anbu fits players who want a ninja outfit closer to normal PUBG MOBILE combat gear.
It is a later Event Center activity shown for July 17. The preview says players can invite new or returning players to play the Naruto themed mode, earn points and share in a cash prize pool. Read the in-game rules before inviting teammates.
On July 9, treat the PUBG MOBILE Naruto collaboration like a reward route, not just a login bonus. Update the game, claim login rewards, open the Theme System, clear every Naruto Event Center tab, then preview the outfit selection before locking in your permanent choice. After the free rewards are secured, decide whether any paid Naruto cosmetics are worth UC. If the free outfit already gives you the look you wanted, save the UC for a later event.
