The reason why Tencent is going big with PUBG Mobile Esports in 2020

Over the past one and half year, the popularity of PUBG Mobile is on the rise. The case is the same in terms of revenue. On a recent report by Sensor Tower, it has been revealed that PUBG Mobile had over 1.5 Billion USD gross revenue until now. So this is not surprising that Tencent is pushing more with the PUBG Mobile Esports to hold their current growth. However, during the PMCO Fall Split Final 2019, James Yang (Director of PUBG MOBILE Global Esports, Tencent Games) said something interesting.

The success of PMCO 2019 with millions of concurrent viewers is one of the testaments to the strength of PUBG MOBILE’s community and the true potential and broad appeal for mobile esports. We are glad to bring players and over 50,000 teams together from different countries around the world, with 10 different regions represented in PMCO.
