PUBG Mobile continues its strong push into the esports arena with the opening of registration for the highly anticipated 2025 Global Open (PMGO). This event is set to attract amateur teams and players from around the globe, all vying for a share of the impressive half-million-dollar prize pool. Registration is open until February 9th, giving hopeful competitors ample time to sign up for a chance to participate in the qualifiers.
The main event of the 2025 PUBG Mobile Global Open is scheduled to take place from April 12th to 13th in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. This tournament is a significant part of PUBG Mobile Esports' strategy to bolster its grassroots competitive scene, with a reported $10 million allocated for prize pools, third-party tournament incentives, and more.
However, simply registering isn't enough to secure a spot in Uzbekistan. Participants must first navigate through a series of open qualifiers. Only the most successful teams will advance through various stages, ultimately earning their place among the elite few competing for the grand prize.
Building and sustaining a vibrant esports scene is no small feat, as seen with other games like Overwatch. Yet, Krafton's efforts to nurture a grassroots competitive environment for PUBG Mobile appear to be paying off. With such substantial prize money at stake, the competition is expected to be intense. This move comes ahead of PUBG Mobile's participation in the Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia, showcasing their commitment to keeping fans engaged beyond high-profile events.
