PUBG MOBILE, the international mobile gaming
phenomenon just announced the arrival of its new era with
the upcoming launch of 1.0 version with huge updates on
September 8th, and the world’s biggest global mobile
esports tournament PUBG MOBILE Global Championship
with a grand prize pool of $2M USD starting late November
PUBG MOBILE today reveals a new era announcement,
including the highly anticipated 1.0 version with huge
updates, and the world’s biggest global mobile esports
event, the PUBG MOBILE Global Championship (PMGC).
Following nearly three years’ success as one of the most
popular mobile games in the world, PUBG MOBILE will
launch 1.0 version on September 8th with new tech, new
UX, new gameplay features and more to deliver the most
realistic tactical tournament experience on mobile. PMGC
Season Zero will begin in late November and invites pro
teams from all regions including Americas, Europe, South
Asia, Southeast Asia, Middle East, China, to compete for the
highest prize pool of $2M USD in PUBG MOBILE esports
history, and to be crowned the inaugural PUBG MOBILE
Global Champions. Qualcomm Technologies, the world’s
leading wireless technology innovator and a driving force
behind the development, launch, and expansion of 5G and
mobile gaming innovation is the official title sponsor of PMGC.
PUBG MOBILE first launched in 2018 and has since
achieved over 600M downloads and 50 Million Daily Active
Players worldwide (excluding Chinese mainland).
Following the incredible success of the game, and
consistent player base growth, PUBG MOBILE is continuing
to bring innovations and improved gameplay experiences to
players. With the launch of 1.0 version on September 8th,
alongside a much-anticipated surprise to be revealed soon,
PUBG MOBILE will be completely overhauled for launch to
offer the most authentic and immersive experience on mobile.
Going into more details than ever before on what fans can
expect from the 1.0 launch, new technologies in version 1.0
have been adopted to fully upgrade the quality of the
game. Improvements have been made to players’
characters, including Main Lobby lights and environments,
as well its iconic environments. Particles, smoke, air blasts,
muzzle flashes, and the addition of scope interaction make
every shot more realistic. Parachuting, sprinting, throwing
and other key actions have also been optimized for the
most captivating battle royale experience. Upgrades to
lighting systems and texture quality bring the vegetation,
sky, and water to life. Models and texture quality are also
improved to provide a more realistic feel and high-quality experience.
To bring players a more concise and intuitive control
experience, PUBG MOBILE’s user interface and interactive
experiences have also been completely overhauled, with
interactions, visuals, motions and sound effects quality
improved. The interface is tweaked to make it easy on the
eyes, while adding some visual technology elements. The
color tones of Dawn Cyan, smoke grey, hope white and
victory yellow were chosen to convey to players the design
concepts of the morning dawn, of rebirth after failure, and
of the glory after a breakthrough eureka moment.
To make it easier for players to find what they want, giving
them more refined and upgraded controls, the innovative
multi-screen switching mode exclusively for PUBG MOBILE
will be launched. The existing functions will be more
organized in display. Games, community, and purchases
have been separated into 3 different spaces, enabling quick
and easy access for players, and creating a simple and clean
interface, helping players quickly locate their required
functions. In addition, players can customize their own
layout, for more comfortable operations and user experience.
“We want to thank every single one of our players for
joining us on our journey to the 1.0 launch. Throughout the
design and development process we’ve been adamant on
keeping the iconic PUBG MOBILE IP and style, while we’ve
continued to innovate to deliver the ultimate experience for
mobile devices,” said spokesperson from PUBG MOBILE.
“Whilst this is the 1.0 launch, this is by no means the end of
development. The new era of PUBG MOBILE is a new
beginning, and we have so many more exciting updates for
fans which we will share soon.”
Alongside the groundbreaking 1.0 version reveal, PUBG
MOBILE esports is going to the next level with the
announcement of PUBG MOBILE World League (PMWL) and
World Championship combined into one epic event, the
biggest global mobile esports tournament PUBG MOBILE
Global Championship (PMGC). Season Zero of PMGC will
begin in late November and top pro teams from all regions
including Americas, Europe, South Asia, Southeast Asia,
Middle East, China, will face off in an epic battle to crown
the Global Champions and take home the lion’s share of
$2M. Due to the global pandemic, an onsite audience may
not be possible for PMGC Season Zero, but if it is safe to do
so, the League will begin in late November, taking place
across multiple studios.
This year PUBG MOBILE completed the structure for its
global year-long esports program. The program now
