PUBG MOBILE Esports has officially unveiled its 2025 global competitive roadmap, showcasing a dynamic overhaul that promises broader access for amateur players and an expanded global footprint. The update outlines changes to core tournaments, a restructured regional format, and a commitment to inclusivity in mobile esports.
At the center of the 2025 strategy is the revamped Global Open, which has already drawn nearly 100,000 players across more than 150 countries. This tournament will serve as a key gateway for amateur players to enter the competitive ecosystem. The Grand Finals, set for Tashkent, Uzbekistan, will feature top-tier professional teams and up-and-coming qualifiers battling for a $500,000 prize pool.
Expanded Super League and Regional Realignment
One of the most notable changes in the 2025 roadmap is the transformation of the PUBG MOBILE Super League into five distinct regional divisions. These include:
- Southeast Asia
- Central and South Asia
- Americas
- Middle East and Africa
- Europe
To further localize competition and deepen rivalries, the former EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) region has been split into Europe and MENA (Middle East and North Africa) brackets. This strategic shift aims to foster more competitive parity and regional identity.
Esports World Cup & Global Championship
PUBG MOBILE is set to make a triumphant return to the Esports World Cup in Riyadh during the summer of 2025. The event will feature 24 elite teams and a staggering $3,000,000 prize pool, bringing together regional qualifiers and national representatives in one of the year’s most anticipated competitions.
The 2025 season will culminate in the Global Championship in Thailand, where 38 of the world’s best teams will compete for ultimate glory in the mobile battle royale scene.
Supporting the Community and Creativity
Beyond the mainstage tournaments, PUBG MOBILE Esports is also focusing on community engagement, with new third-party tournaments, caster competitions, and a fan design contest that invites players to contribute custom in-game content. These initiatives underscore the game’s commitment to building a more inclusive and participatory esports environment.
As PUBG MOBILE continues to evolve its competitive structure, the 2025 roadmap reflects a bold vision to support professional growth, elevate amateur talent, and expand global access in mobile esports.
