PUBG Mobile continues to elevate its esports presence with the exciting announcement of the 2025 Global Open. This prestigious event is now open for registration, inviting amateur teams and players from around the globe to compete for a chance at the grand prize—a hefty share of a $500,000 prize pool. If you're eager to join the fray, you can sign up until February 9th. The main event is scheduled for April 12th to 13th in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, marking a significant step in PUBG Mobile Esports' commitment to fostering a robust grassroots competitive scene, backed by a reported $10 million investment in prize pools and third-party tournament incentives.
However, securing a spot in Uzbekistan isn't as simple as just registering. Aspiring competitors must first navigate through a series of open qualifiers. Only those who excel will advance through multiple stages, culminating in a select few teams earning their place at the main event.
Fostering a vibrant esports scene is no small feat, as evidenced by other games like Overwatch. Yet, Krafton's efforts to cultivate a grassroots competitive environment for PUBG Mobile are proving successful. With such a significant prize on the line, the competition is expected to be intense. This move comes ahead of PUBG Mobile's anticipated return to the Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia, showcasing their dedication to keeping the global fanbase engaged and entertained.
