PUBG Mobile is ramping up its commitment to esports with the announcement of the 2025 Global Open, a tournament that invites amateur teams and players from around the globe to compete for a share of a substantial $500,000 prize pool. Registration for the 2025 PUBG Mobile Global Open (PMGO) is now open and will continue until February 9th. The main event is scheduled to take place in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, from April 12th to 13th, marking a significant move by PUBG Mobile Esports to bolster its grassroots competitive scene, backed by a reported $10 million investment in prize pools and third-party tournament incentives.
To participate in the event, hopefuls must first navigate through a series of open qualifiers. Only the most successful participants will advance through multiple stages, culminating in a select group of teams competing for the grand prize in Uzbekistan. This initiative by Krafton to foster a thriving esports ecosystem for PUBG Mobile is showing promising results, despite the inherent challenges in sustaining a vibrant competitive scene, as evidenced by other games like Overwatch.
With high stakes and fierce competition expected, PUBG Mobile's efforts to engage its community ahead of its return to the Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia are clear. The tournament not only offers a significant prize but also aims to keep the broader fanbase engaged and excited about the game's competitive landscape.
