How to Link PUBG to Twitch and Get Twitch Drops (2026 Guide)

Wondering how to link PUBG to Twitch? Linking PUBG to Twitch lets you earn free in-game items — sprays, nameplates, skins, chests and more — just by watching Drops-enabled streams of PUBG Esports, Twitch Rivals and partner streamers. The link goes through a KRAFTON ID, KRAFTON’s own account that sits between your game account (Steam, Epic, PlayStation or Xbox) and your streaming account.

Here’s how to link PUBG to Twitch properly so your Drops actually arrive.

How to link PUBG to Twitch: the quick version

You connect both your PUBG account and your Twitch account to a free KRAFTON ID, watch streams with Drops enabled, then claim the rewards. The steps below cover each part in detail.

What you need

• A PUBG: Battlegrounds account on PC (Steam or Epic) or console
• A Twitch account
• A KRAFTON ID (free — this is separate from your PUBG in-game account)

Step 1: Create or sign in to your KRAFTON ID

1. Go to the official KRAFTON ID site (accounts.krafton.com) — you can also reach it from the Drops pages on pubg.com.
2. Click Login in the top-right corner, then sign in or sign up.
3. Verify your email if asked.

You can sign in directly at the official KRAFTON ID site.

Step 2: Link your game account

1. In your KRAFTON ID, open Account Info > Link (sometimes shown as “Linked accounts”).
2. Choose your platform — Steam, Epic Games, PlayStation or Xbox — and sign in to authorise it.
3. Make sure it’s the same account you actually play PUBG on.

Step 3: Link your Twitch account

1. On the same linking page, scroll to Twitch and click Link.
2. Sign in to Twitch and click Authorize.
3. Check the connection from Twitch too: in Twitch, go to Settings > Connections and confirm KRAFTON/PUBG appears.

Some events also support other platforms such as Kick or CHZZK — link those the same way if the event lists them.

Step 4: Watch Drops-enabled streams

1. On Twitch, open the PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS category.
2. Look for streams with the Drops Enabled tag, or watch the official PUBG Esports channel during events like the PUBG Global Series (PGS).
3. Keep the stream playing until you hit the watch-time target shown in the event announcement (for example, one hour for one item and two hours for the next).

Step 5: Claim your rewards

1. Open your Twitch Drops Inventory (click your profile picture > Drops & Rewards, or visit the inventory page).
2. Click Claim Now next to each completed reward.
3. Launch PUBG — rewards are delivered to your in-game inventory. Console players sometimes receive rewards after the next live server update.

You can also open your rewards directly from the Twitch Drops Inventory page.

Drops are limited to one claim per account for each item and can’t be claimed after the event’s end date, so claim promptly.

Drops not showing up? Checklist

• Linked the wrong game account? Make sure the KRAFTON ID is linked to the platform account you play on.
• Twitch link broken? Unlink and relink Twitch in your KRAFTON ID, then confirm it under Twitch Settings > Connections.
• Didn’t click Claim? Rewards wait in your Twitch inventory until you claim them.
• Stream not eligible? Only streams marked Drops Enabled count. Ad blockers or watching muted in a background tab can sometimes stop progress.
• Event over? Rewards can’t be claimed after the event window.

Still stuck? Contact official PUBG Support with your KRAFTON ID email and the name of the event.

Tips to get every Drop

• Link everything a day or two before an event starts, so you aren’t fixing problems while the clock is running.
• Keep the stream tab visible and unmuted; background or muted tabs may not count.
• Turn off ad blockers on Twitch during Drops campaigns.
• Check your progress in the Twitch Drops Inventory every hour or so.
• Claim each reward as soon as it unlocks instead of waiting until the end.

When do PUBG Drops campaigns run?

Drops often run during big PUBG Esports tournaments, major updates and special events. Each campaign has its own dates, rewards and watch-time targets, which are listed in the official announcement. Following PUBG’s news and esports channels is the easiest way to make sure you don’t miss one.

Is it safe to link your accounts?

Yes, as long as you use the official pages. When you follow the steps for how to link PUBG to Twitch, you only ever sign in on KRAFTON’s and Twitch’s own sites, and each service only shares what is needed to deliver your rewards. Be wary of third-party “Drops” sites or Discord messages that ask for your passwords or offer guaranteed rewards — they are scams. You can review or remove the connection at any time from your KRAFTON ID or Twitch Connections settings.

Streaming PUBG yourself

To stream your own matches to Twitch, you don’t need the KRAFTON link — use broadcasting software such as OBS Studio or Twitch Studio, connect it to your Twitch account, and set your stream category to PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS. Some PUBG creator events only count streams in that exact category, so set it every time.

FAQ

Is my KRAFTON ID the same as my PUBG account?

No. A KRAFTON ID is a separate account that you link to your PUBG platform account and your streaming accounts.

Can I link PUBG Mobile to Twitch the same way?

No. This process is for PUBG: Battlegrounds on PC and console. PUBG Mobile runs its own events and rewards.

Are Twitch Drops free?

Yes. You only need to watch eligible streams for the required time and claim the rewards.

Do I need to link again for every event?

Usually not. Once you know how to link PUBG to Twitch, the connection stays in place until you unlink it. It’s still worth checking your linked accounts before a big event in case a link has expired.

Does watching on my phone count?

In most campaigns, watching in the Twitch mobile app counts as long as you are logged in. Check the event rules to be sure.

How long does it take?

About five minutes. Once you know how to link PUBG to Twitch, the only waiting is the watch time each Drop requires during an event.

Do Drops cost anything?

No. Drops are free rewards for watching eligible streams. You don’t need Twitch Turbo, a subscription or any purchase in PUBG to claim them.

Can I get Drops if I play on console?

Yes. Link your PlayStation or Xbox account to your KRAFTON ID instead of Steam or Epic. Console rewards can take a little longer to appear, so give them some time before contacting support.
