PUBG MOBILE Celebrates 8th Anniversary with Historic Takeover of the Great Pyramids of Giza
PUBG MOBILE, the global gaming phenomenon with over 1 billion downloads, marked its eighth anniversary by transforming the Great Pyramids of Giza into a massive, real-world battleground. In one of the largest live gaming spectacles ever held in the MENA region, over 5,000 fans gathered at the ancient landmark for an immersive experience that fused cutting-edge digital play with world-class live entertainment.
The landmark event featured a headline performance by Egyptian rap icon Wegz, alongside high-octane shows from The Mayyas—winners of America’s Got Talent—and international DJ Mahmut Orhan. Beyond the music, the night centered on a high-stakes showmatch where top players competed for a $5,000 prize pool, with ElChapo taking home the $3,000 grand prize. Vincent Wang, Head of PUBG MOBILE Publishing at Tencent Games, stated that the event serves as a cultural bridge, celebrating the game's massive community in the Middle East while pushing the boundaries of interactive entertainment at an iconic global heritage site.
