Hello, PUBG Esports fans!

We are excited to bring you additional updates regarding the 2025 PUBG Esports Roadmap, which we initially shared on October 9.

Since the start of PUBG Esports, we’ve been on a mission to make battle royale a thrilling and competitive esports experience. From our first official event, the PUBG Global Invitational in 2018, to the launch of PUBG Nations Cup in 2019, it’s been a journey of growth, innovation, and learning. Seven years in, PUBG Esports has overcome numerous challenges and created remarkable milestones, all with your unwavering support.

Even when faced with setbacks, such as the global pandemic, we adapted by launching online competitions through the PUBG Continental Series. We experimented with including bold format adjustments at PUBG Global Invitational.S, and have now shaped an exciting journey with our Road to PGC system. Through Regional Series in four different regions worldwide and global events like the PUBG Global Series and PUBG Global Championship, PUBG Esports has become a platform where professional players from around the world compete at the highest level.

Heading in to 2025, we’re thrilled to see more fans than ever returning to our events. At PNC 2024, we reached an incredible 510,000 peak viewers, with over 3 million hours watched – our highest engagement since PGI 2018! This is a testament to your support, and we’re continually working to bring you an ever-exciting competitive scene, with new maps, items like the Mortar and Emergency Pickup, and evolving gameplay mechanics. 

World-Class Global Events

As announced in October, the Road to PGC structure will remain consistent in 2025, featuring key events like PGS and PGC. 

The overall system will include regional tournaments that award PGC points, alongside six global events: PGS, PNC, and PGC. Only teams that consistently perform well in both regional and global competitions will advance to PGC 2025, competing for glory and rewards.

We’re also excited to announce that PUBG will once again be part of the Esports World Cup (EWC), set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in 2025. Stay tuned for more details!

Growing together with the Game

In 2023, we committed to bridging the gap between PUBG Esports and the Ranked Play experience to make our esports more accessible and aligned with the broader PUBG community. However, even after this "synchronization," a major challenge remained: while many players prefer TPP (Third-Person Perspective), most of our esports tournaments are predominantly in FPP (First-Person Perspective).

Now, we are taking it a step further by narrowing the gap between how the game is played and how it is experienced. In 2025, we are proud to introduce the official third-person tournament, the PUBG Players Tour (PPT). This new format offers an alternative to the traditional FPP-dominated esports and is designed for PUBG Esports fans, ecosystem members, and gamers alike. The PPT aims to discover new talent, encourage the formation of teams, and establish a sustainable ecosystem for aspiring esports athletes.

Through the PPT, we hope to explore the potential of third-person esports by involving not only professional players but also the majority of the current player base. By fostering creative gameplay in collaboration with players, we aim to deliver the best experiences to fans, enhance gameplay enjoyment through practical tips, and strengthen communication with our community.

In 2025, the introduction of this new TPP tournament will provide a more familiar and immersive experience for fans. We hope this initiative will make PUBG Esports a platform that resonates with more players and fans. Alongside the tournaments, we will also create diverse content that both esports fans and casual players can enjoy, presenting narratives and stories from matches in an engaging and accessible way.

We look forward to your continued interest and participation!

Official TPP Tournament: PUBG Players Tour 

Starting in 2025, PUBG Esports will roll out a new TPP Tournament Roadmap based on regional official scrims. These tournaments will provide an expanded stage for competitive TPP gameplay and offer everyone the chance to participate in esports. Top performers in regional scrims will have the opportunity to advance to higher-tier TPP tournaments. PUBG Esports plans to host four global TPP tournaments creating a competitive stage where top-ranked players can compete alongside pro players.

Here is the structure for the PUBG Players Tour :

PUBG Players Scrim

• Official scrims held in the four major regions: Americas, Asia-Pacific, Asia, and Europe, Middle East & Africa.
• PUBG Players Scrim is an everyday grassroots arena where any player can join and participate.

PUBG Players Cup

Think of the PUBG Players Cup as a weekly finals for the Players Scrim.

• The top-performing teams from the official scrims will compete here to determine the regional champions of PUBG TPP.
• We’re working to prepare the PUBG Players Cup with full online streaming and a modest prize pool.

PUBG Players Masters

The highest-tier tournament featuring top teams from the Players Cup and invited pro teams.

While details for the PUBG Players Tour are still in development, we’re excited to share the overall structure with you. Each region may have slightly different formats for the PUBG Players Scrim and PUBG Players Cup, tailored to their regional circumstances.

Stay tuned for more details on the PUBG Players Tournament to come!

Aiming to Be the Ultimate IP

Lastly, as we look to 2025, we are preparing various initiatives to make it an unforgettable year for PUBG Esports fans around the world.

• Collaborations with major brands and renowned artists to enhance the fan experience.
• Exploring new esports services to deliver more exciting updates for fans.

We remain committed to listening to feedback from players and fans, constantly striving to deliver greater enjoyment. We look forward to sharing this new chapter of PUBG Esports with you in 2025.
