PUBG Outpost Cologne 2026: Thank you, Survivors!

For the third year in a row, KRAFTON and the PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS community have supported Gaming Aid e.V. during gamescom.
On August 29, the PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS community gathered at Club Bahnhof Ehrenfeld in Cologne, just a short tram ride from gamescom. The PUBG Outpost Cologne followed the PUBG: HOT DROP meet-ups of 2023 and 2024 and brought a fresh format for players, developers and creators.

Visitors teamed up to tackle challenges, earned SP points to redeem for exclusive merch, and put their questions to the PUBG developers in a live Hotseat Q&A. Food and drinks were on the house, so the evening was all about meeting fellow Survivors in person.

Our thanks go to KRAFTON, the PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS team, BUILD A ROCKET and everyone who helped organise the evening, and of course every Survivor in the PUBG community. Under our motto "Spielend helfen", this is exactly what we love to see: games bringing people together and making a difference.

Also for KRAFTON, this event made a difference: “We continue to support Gaming Aid because it turns solidarity within the games industry into practical help. Your work supports people facing difficult circumstances and social initiatives, while you help talented young people pursue game-related studies and build a future in the industry. We’re glad that the donation connected to PUBG: Outpost Cologne can contribute to this work and extend the event’s positive impact beyond the venue.”
