Krafton is hosting a PUBG Epic Fails event for PC and consoles, inviting players to share their in-game “failures” via social media in exchange for loads of G-Coin (in-game currency). The contest is online now and will end on February 23, 2022 at 12:30 p.m.
Players can send short video clips of their embarrassing or funny in-game moments or breakthrough issues via Twitter, Instagram or Facebook, with the hashtag – #PUBGEpicFails. Each entry must include the player’s in-game nickname and the platform they are playing on – Playstation, Xbox or Windows PC.
Sometimes the biggest failures make the biggest content. We want to see your best and funniest battleground epic failure moments!

Krafton will choose a total of 22 randomly selected winners and reward them with 20,000 G-Coin, a 16.2 Survivor Pass (battle pass) and an actual trophy. There is also a “Weekly Best” category, where 100 winners receive a random G-Coin loot crate/box, containing between 500 and 50,000 G-Coin. All winners will be announced by February 28, 2022.
This news follows after the company made PUBG: Battlegrounds a free game video game on January 12, 2022. Upon launch, the title skyrocketed to 690,000 total active players across all platforms and was the highest ranked game on Steam that week.
New players start with a basic account that offers access to most standard features, while the premium option called Battlegrounds Plus gives it a much-needed facelift. The upgrade, priced at $12.99 (roughly Rs 962), grants players access to 1,300 bonus G-Coin, an XP boost, access to ranked mode, and a custom match.
The game also added an overhauled tutorial to cater to new players, better optimization, and ping markers that allow players without a mic to mark locations on the map. Those who already owned the game before the F2P transition get bonus cosmetics.
