PUBG Mobile is gearing up for another major tournament: the Snapdragon Pro BGMI Mobile Challenge finals. Taking place from January 31st to February 2nd in India's Noida Indoor Stadium, this three-day event will see 16 top teams battling for a massive prize pool of up to INR 1 crore. The championship title is also on the line.
Krafton's significant investment in mobile esports is evident, not only through their own PUBG Mobile Global Open with its $500,000 prize pool, but also through their support of events like the Snapdragon Pro BGMI Mobile Challenge. This tournament's sixth season has already seen an impressive response in India, with over 300 teams registering for the qualifiers and significant community engagement.
India's Thriving Mobile Esports Scene
India's mobile gaming market is booming, with a diverse range of titles vying for players' attention. While domestic developers like SuperGaming (with titles like Indus) are making strides, this tournament highlights the continued popularity of international games like PUBG Mobile. Krafton's substantial investment in India, including a reported $10 million commitment to grassroots esports development, underscores the region's importance in the global mobile esports landscape.
