The award show encompasses 31 categories, and the ceremony will be hosted by Geoff Keighley (the founder and producer of the TGA).

The pinnacle of competition is reached with the Global Championship, which provides an opportunity for standout teams from various regions to aim for the title of world champion.

In addition to these major tournaments, PUBG Mobile further enriches the esports calendar with events such as the World Invitational, Rivals Cup, and Regional Clash. This diverse range of competitions adds depth and excitement to the game's esports scene.

PUBG Mobile has also been featured in both the Asian Games and the SEA Games, solidifying its presence on the global stage. It's great news for fans that the title has been nominated at The Game Awards this year.

The fourth edition of the PUBG Mobile Global Championship (PMGC) is underway in Malaysia, featuring intense competition among 48 teams during the League Stage. This monumental $3 million event is set to end on December 10, 2023, with the Grand Finale scheduled to take place in Istanbul, Turkey.

The winners will be determined through a combination of the selected jury's decision (accounting for 90% of the vote) and public fan voting (constituting the remaining 10% of the vote).
