KRAFTON has announced that PUBG: Battlegrounds is teaming up with K-pop group IVE for a collaboration built around the group’s hit song “LOVE DIVE.” The event begins November 4 on PC and November 12 on console, bringing a new themed location to the Rondo map, in-game likenesses of all six IVE members, and a full range of cosmetics and emotes.

At the center of the update are three new areas in Rondo inspired by key scenes and visual elements from the “LOVE DIVE” music video, reimagined inside the world of the Battlegrounds, so players encounter the collaboration directly as they explore and fight across the map. All six members of IVE will be represented in game through character likenesses, accompanied by themed outfits, accessories, gear and weapons. New emotes inspired by IVE’s songs will give squads additional ways to bring the group’s music and style into matches.

The collaboration was first teased on October 21, with key art released alongside today’s announcement and a teaser trailer scheduled for 6 p.m. KST. A full trailer premiering November 1 will feature all six IVE members, revisiting the visual concept and outfits from the group’s “LOVE DIVE” era, with a new arrangement that combines the original song with music from PUBG: Battlegrounds.

The crossover continues battle royale’s run as one of gaming’s biggest stages for music acts, and it lands on both sides of the Pacific at once: KRAFTON is headquartered in Korea, IVE is one of K-pop’s leading groups, and PUBG remains one of the most played shooters in the world on PC and console. Players on PC get the content first on November 4, with console players following on November 12.

Apple Arcade’s sports lineup keeps growing. Apple has announced that NBA 2K27 and Football Manager 27 will both join the subscription service in November, adding the world’s biggest basketball game and its most respected football management series to a catalogue that has quietly become a strong home for sports fans.

NBA 2K27’s Arcade edition brings the full 2K basketball experience to iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, and this year’s edition includes WNBA teams, continuing the push to put the women’s game front and center in the series. The timing could hardly be better for 2K: NBA 2K27 launched in September and has already become the best-selling game of 2026 in the United States, according to Circana sales data.

Football Manager 27’s arrival follows the pattern set last year, when Football Manager 26 Touch launched on Apple Arcade on November 4, 2025. The Touch edition streamlines Sports Interactive’s famously deep management simulation for quicker sessions while keeping the transfer market, tactics and career progression that have made the series a fixture for football fans worldwide.

The two newcomers join a sports section that has filled out considerably this year. Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition arrived in August, and the service also carries NFL Retro Bowl ’27, the officially licensed pixel-art football game, PGA TOUR Pro Golf for golf fans, and Retro Bowl College+, the college football spin-off of the Retro Bowl series.

Apple Arcade is priced at $8.99 per month in Canada and can be shared with up to five family members, and it is bundled into every Apple One plan. For sports gamers, the pitch is simple: a rotating library of premium annual sports titles with no additional purchases, playable across Apple devices.
