“The player experience is always a top priority for PUBG Mobile esports so it felt natural and confident to enter a partnership with Sony’s Xperia,” James Yang, the director of PUBG Mobile global esports said. “We look forward to seeing our players showcasing an even stronger performance with their Xperia flagship series at our global tournaments this year.”

This isn’t the first time both companies have engaged in a similar partnership, although it was with different brands in the past. In 2021, the OnePlus 9 Series was the smartphone partner at the PUBG Mobile World Invitational and the PMGC. Sony’s Xperia, on the other hand, had a partnership with the Call of Duty: Mobile World Championships in 2020 and 2021.
