Last year, PUBG and PUBG MOBILE came together for the first time as PUBG UNITED in Bangkok. Now, the journey continues. From December 11 to 13, 2026, PUBG UNITED returns to İstanbul, Türkiye, bringing fans from around the world together once again.

PUBG UNITED is a global esports festival that brings PUBG and PUBG MOBILE together, connecting fans from around the world to share their passion and excitement beyond the games. In İstanbul, where Europe meets Asia, fans can look forward to thrilling competition across two championships, along with a variety of fan activities and unique experiences. From the venues to locations across the city, fans will come together, connect, and create a celebration that is uniquely PUBG UNITED.
