Ultimate Royale
Ultimate Royale offers a brand new opportunity for all players hoping to test their skills in a PUBG Mobile esports environment. The new ranked system offers more than just an immersive esports experience; however, Ultimate Royale will give the top 500 ranked players the opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the world's top players at the end of the season. After proving their worth, qualifying players will be given the chance to attend a professional team tryout within their region, and for a few skilled players, the chance to access PUBG Mobile Global Open (PMGO) qualifiers. This marks a new era of PUBG Mobile Esports, giving fans across the world a new chance to go pro.
Each Classic Season, after 14 days, Ultimate Royale will open its doors to any player who has achieved Crown Tier in the current or previous season. The new ranked system features 5 Ultimate Royale tiers – Vanguard, Exceed, Supreme, Peerless, and Legend. Each tier below Legend will have five mini-tiers, with a requirement of 100 rating points to progress to the next mini-tier. For a limited time each day – with the schedule dependent on the major region – eligible players can team up with friends or join the matching queue in third-person squads for a chance to earn ranked points in Classic Erangel as part of 16 teams. Players can earn 1 point for each elimination, and additional points are available according to team rank at the time of player elimination.
Upon reaching specific tiers, players will be able to claim unique rewards, with additional rewards distributed at the end of the season based on the highest tier achieved. Players can display their prowess in style with elaborate visual effects and profile medals to claim, and each week, the top 1,000 ranked placements will be given exciting additional rewards. Ultimate Royale Season 1 kicks off with Alpha 7 Esports as the cover pro team, following a season of constantly improving themselves, culminating in a victory at the 2024 PUBG Mobile World Cup (PMWC). Coinciding with the esports experience, map configurations like Playzone shrink time, Blue Zone decay rate, and damage per second are all in line with tournament standards, with Red Zones, aim assists, flare guns, and shops disabled. Playstyles will have to adapt to the new scoring rules as players are faced with the challenge of balancing eliminations and ranking points in each match, encouraging a variety of ways to engage with each game.
PUBG Mobile x Volkswagon
