As part of its commitment to nurturing digital talent, PUBG MOBILE has launched its Campus Ambassador Program in Nigeria and Kenya. This initiative gives university students the chance to organize on-campus tournaments with cash prizes, promote PUBG MOBILE through content creation, and earn up to $500 per month.

Players on select devices can now enjoy up to 50–60fps with lag reduced by 30–50% and device overheating decreased by 15%. Longer play sessions are now more comfortable, as devices stay 2–4°C cooler, while CPU and GPU usage has been optimized to reduce power consumption by up to 7%. Download speeds have also significantly improved, doubling on average and increasing by up to 200%, enabling faster entry into matches.
In celebration of Africa’s rich cultural diversity, PUBG MOBILE is introducing exclusive in-game items created specifically for African players.
