In January 2022, Tencent unveiled the 2022 PUBG Mobile Esports road map consisting of two global tournaments, i.e., the Mid Season Invitational and the Global Championship. However, the company is yet to reveal the overall prize pool for the year. The 2021 season boasted a massive prize pool of $14 million, out of which $6 million was the total prize pool of the PMGC.

The first PMGC event, which was held in 2020, featured a total prize money of $2 million and was won by the Chinese team Nova Esports. Initially, the grand finals of the event were scheduled for the LAN event at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, UAE, but the teams played from hotel rooms after three of them tested positive for COVID-19.

2021 was also a watershed year for Nova Esports as they once again put up a scintillating performance and won the PMGC, which was a semi-LAN event, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic and its safety restrictions. The team was rewarded with a winning prize of $1.5 million. Interestingly, the 2021 season also saw the induction of Indian teams that qualified through their local version (BGMI).

The title has also been included in the 2022 Asian Games, which are scheduled to be held in Hangzhou, China.
