PUBG Mobile is one of the biggest mobile esports right now. It has a structured league and had a relatively large prize pool of $600,000 at the PUBG Mobile Star Challenge Finals 2018. The mobile version of the hit PC battle royale has had a number of live esports events with wide media coverage and is a regular title on the top grossing charts of the Google Play Store in almost all countries.
Despite this, there’s another mobile battle royale that’s shattering viewership records in its esports events. Free Fire, developed by Garena, is a 50-player battle royale game for Android and iOS. The game has over 100 million downloads and was released on Dec. 4, 2017, three months before PUBG Mobile’s global release.
