The official PUBG Esports page announced that both PUBG: Battlegrounds and PUBG Mobile are joining esports under one stage: PUBG United. The global event begins in November in the Siam District of Bangkok, Thailand, hosting this year’s PGC and PMGC.

The event will feature an opening ceremony and create a “once-in-a-lifetime experience where the world’s top players will battle back-to-back in their respective Grand Finals.”

PUBG United begins on Nov. 24 and concludes on Dec. 14, 2025. Regarding the size of the respective platforms’ esports, PUBG Mobile esports is significantly bigger than the PC counterpart. Despite being on a mobile platform, the larger of the two also has high skill expression and widespread appeal, especially in Asia, where mobile gaming is more popular.

This contributes to the potential prize pool disparity for the tournament. PC’s PUBG Global Championship 2025 has a total pot of $1.5 million, whereas PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2025 has not officially announced its prize pool, but sources speculate the prize pool will increase from last year’s tournament, which was $3 million.

Despite being on a mobile platform, PUBG: Mobile has high skill expression and widespread appeal, especially in Asia, where mobile gaming is more popular than in western regions, such as the United States.

PUBG Mobile Esports’ biggest all-time prize money was roughly $110 million, while PUBG: Battlegrounds esports only had a peak of $61.2 million for the same figure. This disparity is largely driven by massive leagues, such as the Peacekeeper Elite League (PEL) in China.

Team Aryan player Hitler has been prohibited from using the controversial name by Esports World Cup (EWC) organizers. The player is now forced to change his name to be able to compete in the tournament, according to TalkEsports.

The team was able to secure a spot in the PUBG Mobile World Cup (PMWC) 2025, happening at EWC 2025, after winning the Battlegrounds Mobile India Pro Series 2025, where it faced teams such as NoNx Esports and Los Hermanos Esports.

PMWC 2025 is PUBG Mobile’s mid-season international event. Teams from all across the world will fly into Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and compete for a prize pool of $3 million. The event’s group stage starts on July 25, the survival stage on July 29 and the grand final on Aug. 1. PWMC 2025 will end on Aug. 3, where the champion of the tournament will be crowned.

There is no news regarding Hitler’s new name, but there should be a statement coming out within the next few days, considering that the event is happening a week and a half from the writing of this article.

PUBG Mobile is the mobile version of what is considered the game that popularized the battle royale genre, PUBG: Battlegrounds. It was released in 2018 but was banned in India in 2020. Krafton relaunched the game the next year and named it Battlegrounds Mobile India.
