PUBG MOBILE has teamed up with Spacetoon on a limited-time Arabic Voice Pack and a Space Gift item, both live now in the in-game Crystal Shop and aimed squarely at players across the Middle East and North Africa.
- The pack reunites Arabic dub actors from Spacetoon’s anime era: Eyas Abu Ghazala (Naruto Uzumaki), Rafat Bazo (Sasuke Uchiha), Mohammad Mustafa (Orochimaru), and Marwan Farhat (Iruka Umino).
- The lines were recorded in the same style as the actors’ original anime performances, so the appeal is nostalgia rather than reinvention.
- PUBG MOBILE is free-to-play on iOS and Android; the content sits in the Crystal Shop for a limited time, with no expiry date stated.
What is actually in the Spacetoon voice pack?
The collaboration adds an exclusive Arabic Voice Pack and a Space Gift item to PUBG MOBILE’s Crystal Shop, according to the joint announcement from PUBG MOBILE and Spacetoon. Rather than commissioning new characters or a fresh interpretation, the pack leans entirely on recognition: the voices are the draw.
The featured cast will be immediately familiar to anyone who grew up on Spacetoon’s anime line-up. Eyas Abu Ghazala returns as the Arabic voice of Naruto Uzumaki, Rafat Bazo as Sasuke Uchiha, Mohammad Mustafa as Orochimaru, and Marwan Farhat as Iruka Umino. The companies say each performance was recorded in the same style that made those voices recognisable across the Arab world, which is the whole point — this is a nostalgia play, and it knows it.
Why Spacetoon carries so much weight in the region
Spacetoon is the reason this collaboration lands harder than a typical themed skin drop. The companies describe it as an entertainment ecosystem with a legacy spanning more than four decades, and as the region’s first free-to-air channel of its kind — the outlet that introduced Japanese anime to Arab audiences and became a fixture of family viewing across the Arab world.
For a generation of players in the UAE, the Gulf, and the wider MENA region, those Arabic dubs are shorthand for childhood television. Pairing them with a battle royale that already has an enormous regional player base is a smart, low-risk way to trigger recognition — the kind of crossover that works on familiarity alone. It is worth keeping the marketing language at arm’s length, though: framing about “the voices that shaped a generation” is the companies’ own positioning, not a measured claim.
PUBG MOBILE has form here. The game regularly runs limited-time collaborations built around recognisable IP, and it has previously leaned into local culture in the region, including its earlier tie-up with rapper Al Shami that added a voice pack and a Dabke emote. The Spacetoon deal is a cleaner shot at nostalgia specifically, swapping current music culture for the sound of early-2000s afternoon TV.
How UAE players can get it
UAE and wider MENA players can access the content by opening PUBG MOBILE, heading to the Crystal Shop, and unlocking the Arabic Voice Pack and Space Gift, which the companies confirm are available now. PUBG MOBILE remains free to download on iOS and Android, so there is no barrier to getting in and checking the offer.
The one caveat is timing. The announcement only says the content is available for a limited time and gives no closing date, so there is no fixed deadline to point to — just the usual implication that it will not stick around indefinitely. If the voices meant something to you the first time round, that is reason enough not to leave it too long.
