The PUBG Mobile Global Championship (PMGC) 2025 will mark the grand end of this year’s competitive PUBG Mobile season. This will be the sixth edition of the global tournament and is set to take place in Thailand. PMGC 2025 is expected to be unlike any other edition before, introducing a new competitive map, a recall system, and a completely revamped format that promises more intense action and unpredictable outcomes.
With the best teams from across the world competing, PMGC 2025 is shaping up to be the most exciting event in PUBG Mobile esports history. Over the last five years, the championship has seen four different winners, with Chinese teams often leading the pack. However, the competition is now more open than ever, especially with Indian teams making their return to the global stage.
A Fresh Format for PMGC 2025
This year’s PMGC will follow a brand-new structure designed to make every stage more competitive and thrilling. The tournament will unfold in four stages Gauntlet Stage, Group Stage, Last Chance, and Grand Finals.
Here’s a quick look at how the competition will progress:
| Stage | Total Teams | Qualified Teams | Total Matches |
| Gauntlet | 16 | Top 7 teams move to Grand Finals; remaining 9 go to Group Stage | 18 |
| Group Stage | 32 | Top 3 from each group (6 total) go to Grand Finals; 4th–11th from each group (16 total) go to Last Chance | 18 per group |
| Last Chance | 16 | Top 2 teams move to Grand Finals | 12 |
| Grand Finals | 16 | 7 from Gauntlet, 6 from Group Stage, 2 from Last Chance, and 1 Host Country Invitee | 18 |
This structure ensures every match counts. Even if a team doesn’t make it through in the early stages, they still have a chance to fight back and reach the Grand Finals through the Last Chance round.
New Map and Recall System in PMGC 2025
The most exciting change this year is the replacement of Sanhok with a brand-new map called Rondo. This fresh battleground will test players in new ways with its terrain, layout, and gameplay dynamics.
Another major introduction is the recall system a feature that allows teams to bring back eliminated players until the 4th circle. This system adds a new layer of strategy to the matches, forcing teams to think beyond survival. Smart recalls could help teams recover from early losses and go on to dominate the game.
With these changes, PMGC 2025 is not just about shooting and positioning anymore; it’s also about timing, teamwork, and tactical decisions.
