More recently, Pakistani PUBG Mobile squads such as 52 Esports and Team Star have qualified for global events and Esports World Cup, showcasing the country’s growing strength in competitive mobile gaming. These wins not only highlight the immense skill of Pakistani players but also position Pakistan as a rising powerhouse in international esports, inspiring a new generation of gamers back home.
