The BGMI x Harley-Davidson collaboration is coming with the upcoming 4.4 update. Krafton has officially confirmed the crossover for PUBG and PUBG Mobile, and since BGMI mirrors its global counterpart, Indian players can expect the same content to land locally.
The highlight: the Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST rolls into the battleground as an in-game vehicle, complete with its real-world bagger design and signature V-Twin styling.
What Is the BGMI x Harley-Davidson Collaboration?
Krafton, alongside PUBG Mobile publisher Level Infinite, officially announced the PUBG x PUBG Mobile x Harley-Davidson collaboration on May 4, 2026. For PUBG on PC and PUBG Mobile globally, the collab is scheduled to go live on May 13, 2026. Console players get access from May 21, 2026.
BGMI follows a two-month update cycle. The last update, version 4.3, dropped on March 19, 2026. That puts the BGMI 4.4 update squarely in May 2026, with leaks pointing to around May 21 as the expected rollout date for India. Krafton India has not officially confirmed this date yet.
The CVO Road Glide ST: What to Expect In-Game
The centerpiece of this collaboration is the Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST. In the real world, it is known for its heavy bagger stance, loud V-Twin engine, and aggressive touring profile. Krafton has built the in-game version to reflect that.
According to leaks from the PUBG Mobile beta files, the Harley-Davidson is not just a cosmetic wrap on an existing bike. It is a fully upgradeable transport, built on the same leveled upgrade system used in previous vehicle collabs. The motorcycle features a distinctive design with an orange colour palette and an upgrade path that changes its appearance as players level it up.
This makes it more comparable to the BGMI Royal Enfield collab in the 4.2 update than a simple skin drop. That update brought the Continental GT 650 and Bullet 350 into the game as part of a proper vehicle partnership.
What Else Comes With the BGMI 4.4 Update
The Harley-Davidson collab is one part of a larger 4.4 patch. The update is set to bring a Mythical Ruins themed mode that redesigns parts of the Erangel map. Locations including Yasnaya Polyana, Ruins, Ferry Pier, and Mylta are expected to receive visual and structural overhauls with an ancient Roman and Greek aesthetic.
A new floating structure called the Crown’s Abode is tipped as the main hot drop for the update, replacing the floating island seen in earlier versions. Leaks also mention a Spartan’s Trial, Icarus’ Trial, and Achilles’ Trial as in-match objectives that give squads buffs and late-game rewards when completed.
On the vehicle side, a Roadster is also coming in 4.4. It is a two-seater convertible built for high-speed movement on open roads, with an automatic turbocharger mechanic.
Biker Outfits and Cosmetics Expected Alongside the Bike
Vehicle collabs in BGMI rarely arrive alone. Based on the pattern from previous partnerships, the Harley-Davidson crossover is expected to include biker-themed outfits, exclusive accessories, and limited-time event rewards tied to the collaboration.
The PUBG Mobile announcement referenced “exclusive in-game events” and themed gear alongside the vehicle. BGMI typically carries the same cosmetic content, adapted for the Indian version of the game.
Why This Collab Makes Sense for BGMI
BGMI has leaned into Indian motorcycling culture before. The Royal Enfield partnership in 4.2 was the first major two-wheeler collab for the Indian version of the game and it landed well with the player base. Harley-Davidson is a different kind of brand — it brings a global recognition and a very specific visual identity that is distinct from anything BGMI has done before.
According to Inside Sport India’s coverage of the PUBG Mobile announcement, Krafton’s positioning around this collab uses language like “legendary ride” and “ultimate status symbol.” That framing suggests the CVO Road Glide ST will be treated as a prestige vehicle within the game, not standard loot.
Harley-Davidson is also active across other gaming and motorsport ecosystems in 2026. The brand is launching a new MotoGP championship series racing at six Grand Prix events across Europe and North America this year, using race-prepared Road Glide motorcycles. That level of brand activity tends to translate into gaming partnerships happening around the same time.
