PUBG Mobile is gearing up for another major tournament: the Snapdragon Pro BGMI Mobile Challenge. The finals, taking place from January 31st to February 2nd in India at the Noida Indoor Stadium, will see 16 teams battling it out for a share of the INR 1 crore prize pool. The winner will also claim the title of Snapdragon Pro Series BGMI Mobile Challenge Season 6 champions.
The mobile esports scene is booming, and PUBG Mobile is a major player. Krafton's own PUBG Mobile Global Open, with its substantial $500,000 prize pool, is a testament to this. The Snapdragon Pro BGMI Mobile Challenge further underscores this investment, concluding its sixth season with a grand finale in India. This tournament has generated significant excitement within the Indian esports community, attracting over 300 registrations for the qualifiers and fostering considerable community engagement.
India's Thriving Mobile Gaming Market
India boasts a massive mobile gaming market, but competition is fierce. While domestic developers like SuperGaming (with titles like Indus) are vying for market share with a "Made in India" appeal, this tournament highlights the enduring popularity of international titles. Krafton's continued investment in major tournaments and a reported $10 million investment in grassroots esports demonstrates the importance of the Indian market.
