PUBG Mobile continues to elevate its esports presence with the much-awaited 2025 Global Open (PMGO), now open for registration. This global tournament aims to draw in amateur teams and players from around the world, offering them a shot at the grand prize from a substantial $500,000 prize pool. You have until February 9th to sign up for a chance to compete in the qualifiers, with the main event scheduled for April 12th to 13th in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

To participate, you'll need to navigate through a series of open qualifiers. Only the most successful participants will advance through multiple stages, eventually earning a spot in the main event. This initiative is part of PUBG Mobile Esports' broader strategy to bolster its grassroots competitive scene, with a reported investment of $10 million dedicated to prize pools, third-party tournament incentives, and more.

Building a vibrant and thriving esports ecosystem is no small feat, as evidenced by the challenges faced by other games like Overwatch. However, Krafton's efforts to cultivate a grassroots competitive scene for PUBG Mobile are showing promising results. With such high stakes, the competition is expected to be intense, especially as PUBG Mobile gears up for its return to the Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia. This move ensures that fans and players outside of major events are also well-engaged and supported.
