  • A shrinking play zone forces teams together as the match goes on.
  • Tournaments play many games and rank teams on points. The 2026 Esports World Cup Grand Final reached its maximum of 18 games.

How competition works

  • The PUBG Global Championship is the game's end-of-year global event. Teams qualify through regional series and the PUBG Global Series.
  • The Esports World Cup also runs a major PUBG: Battlegrounds tournament.
  • From 2027, India becomes its own competitive region, with a Regional League that leads to the PUBG Global Series.
