The prize pool for PUBG Mobile World Cup is $3 million. An additional $800,000 will be distributed to the qualifier rounds making the overall prize pool $3.8 million.

With this number, PUBG Mobile becomes one of the largest titles at the Esports World Cup in terms of prize money. The game stands only behind Dota 2 which holds an overall prize pool of $10 million. This highlights PUBG Mobile as it stands above other esports juggernauts like League of Legends and Apex Legends.

PUBG Mobile World Cup tournament format

The tournament will see three stages. The Group Stage begins first with 24 teams in the pool. During this stage, the top 12 teams advance directly to the third stage, meanwhile the bottom 12 have to go through the next round.

Next is the Survival Stage, pitting together 16 teams - 12 from the bottom of the Group Stage and 6 from each of the PMSL (PUBG Mobile Super League) regions. From the Survival Stage, only the top 4 will advance to the final phase. The bottom 12 will face elimination.

And finally, the Main Stage, featuring the top 12 teams from Group Stage and the 4 teams that made it through the Survival Stage. The winner gets a chicken dinner and a lion's share of the $3 million prize pool.
