I still remember the way my squad’s Discord lit up when PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS dropped its November store update. It was one of those rare months where every tab felt like a mini-event. From Neymar Jr.’s flashy gear to a sneaky Cat Burglar outfit, the shop had something for every kind of player. And yes, I was the guy who checked the G-COIN balance first. 😅

But before you get too excited: it’s 2026 now. Those original sales windows from 2022 are long over. The good news? PUBG has a habit of bringing cosmetics back through the Workshop, Your Shop, or limited events. So if you missed something, don’t lose hope.

The Emetsound Victory Dance That Made Us All Look Ridiculous

What’s better than a dance emote that lets every teammate show off their own moves? That was the promise of Victory Dance – Emetsound, a collaboration with the South Korean dance crew Emetsound. It cost 800 G-COIN and included a bonus Emetsound Spray. The PC sales period ran from November 15, 2022, after live server maintenance, to February 14, 2023. Console players got it from November 24, 2022, to February 23, 2023.

There was a small hiccup: the bonus Spray was initially missing from the Emote bundle. After a hotfix, Victory Dance – Emetsound was released again with the bonus item, and anyone who had already purchased the emote received the spray automatically. I remember laughing with my squad when we all equipped it and somehow looked completely different while dancing in sync. Isn’t that the whole point of a good emote?

Neymar Jr. Mega Bundle: Football Flair on the Battlegrounds

If you wanted to score big in style, the Neymar Jr. Mega Bundle was the headline act. At 2,550 G-COIN, it included the Neymar Jr. appearance, Neymar Jr.’s Backpack (Level 3), Neymar Jr. Logo Spray, Neymar Jr. 10 Spray, and the Neymar Jr.’s Shhh Ceremony Emote. Smaller sets were also available: the Jersey Set at 800 G-COIN, the Hoodie Set at 990 G-COIN, and the Weapon Set at 1,500 G-COIN.

The original PC window ran from November 22, 2022, to February 21, 2023, with a nearly identical console window. I bought the Mega Bundle, and I still use that Level 3 backpack in my regular rotation. Is it worth chasing in 2026 if it returns? For a football fan who also loves PUBG, absolutely.

Cat Burglar: For When You Want to Sneak in Style

The Cat Burglar Set was for players who wanted to look stealthy even when they were stomping around in boots. It cost 1,590 G-COIN and included bonus items: Cat Burglar Mask, Cat Burglar Cap, and Cat Burglar Gloves. There was a correction later: the Cat Burglar eyes were identical to the Mask, and the Cat Burglar hands were identical to the Gloves, so the set only truly added three bonus items. Individual pieces were also sold: Jacket at 990 G-COIN, Shorts at 990 G-COIN, and Boots at 500 G-COIN.

The original PC sale ended on December 20, 2022, with console following a day later in some regions. The associated emote had a longer window into May 2023. I remember wearing the full set and crouching through every building like I was in a heist movie. Who doesn’t love a little dramatic roleplay between firefights?

Double G-COIN: The Black Friday Treat

a-pubg-november-i-still-remember-neymar-cat-burglar-and-double-g-coin-image-3

What’s better than G-COIN? Double G-COIN bonus bundles, of course. The promotion returned for Black Friday. On PC, the bundles were:

Bundle Price
1,020 G-COIN (500 + 520 Bonus) $4.99
5,400 G-COIN (2,500 + 2,900 Bonus) $24.99
11,000 G-COIN (5,000 + 6,000 Bonus) $49.99

On console, the names were slightly different:

Bundle Price
Double G-COIN I (500 + 500 Bonus) $4.99
Double G-COIN II (2,000 + 2,600 Bonus) $24.99
Double G-COIN III (5,000 + 7,000 Bonus) $49.99

The PC sale ran from November 22 to November 27, 2022, while console ran from November 23 to November 28, 2022. I grabbed the middle bundle and told myself it was an investment in future cosmetics. Was it? Probably not. Did I regret it? Not even a little.

Forever, Porcelain Power, and a Personalized Shop

November’s Partner skin featured Forever. Forever’s Bundle cost 1,340 G-COIN and included a Forever Spray. You could also buy Forever’s Dress for 1,000 G-COIN or Forever’s S1897 for 990 G-COIN. The original PC sale began November 29, 2022, and ran to February 21, 2023.

The Porcelain Power series brought elegant skins for the Beryl M762 and Mini14. The PC window opened November 8, 2022, and closed February 27, 2023; console started November 17, 2022. I have always had a soft spot for clean, ceramic-inspired weapon skins. They make even a chaotic firefight feel a little classy.

Your Shop also reopened, offering personalized discounted goods. On PC, the service period ran from November 29 to December 20, 2022, with console running from November 29 to December 20 as well in local time. It was always fun to see which skins the algorithm thought I needed. Sometimes it knew me better than I knew myself.

Spring Clearance and 180cm’s Farewell

As the weather grew colder, PUBG offered a final salute to Spring. The Spring Walk Outfit Set was 600 G-COIN, Spring Evening Outfit Set was 1,250 G-COIN, and Spring Stroll Outfit Set was 700 G-COIN. Individual items included backpacks, helmets, scarves, jackets, skirts, shoes, and more. Victory Dance 86 and Victory Dance 87 were also on sale. The original PC sales ended November 8, 2022, while console ended November 16, 2022.

Partner 180cm’s goods were leaving the store too. The 180cm’s Bundle cost 1,340 G-COIN and included a Duck Hunter spray. Individual items included 180cm’s Sweatshirt at 500 G-COIN, 180cm’s Sweatpants at 500 G-COIN, and 180cm’s Mosin Nagant at 990 G-COIN. The PC sale ended November 15, 2022, and console ended November 15, 2022. I remember scrambling to buy the Mosin skin before it disappeared. Nothing motivates a PUBG player like a countdown timer.

So, What Does This Mean in 2026?

If you are reading this in 2026, those exact sales periods are history. But PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS has shown that old cosmetics can return through the Workshop, Your Shop, events, and promotions. That means the Neymar Jr. gear, the Cat Burglar set, the Emetsound dance, and even the Porcelain Power skins might come back around. Would I buy them again? For the memories alone, yes. And if they do return, you can bet I will be checking my G-COIN balance first—just like I did back then. 🎮

Data referenced from GamesIndustry.biz helps contextualize why PUBG’s 2022-era store drops—like celebrity bundles, limited-time emotes, and Black Friday currency promos—remain relevant in 2026: live-service shooters routinely lean on timed cosmetics, rotating storefronts, and recurring promotions to drive engagement and monetization long after the original sales window ends. Seen through that lens, items such as the Neymar Jr. sets, Cat Burglar outfit, and Victory Dance collaborations aren’t just one-off novelties; they’re part of a broader retention loop where older cosmetics can resurface via personalized shops, workshops, or special events, prompting players to re-check their G-COIN balances all over again.
