PUBG MOBILE is giving players more ways to turn their skills and creativity into rewards.
The PUBG MOBILE Reward Drop is now live, bringing together four official paths for map creators, designers, competitive players, and content creators. According to PUBG MOBILE’s official announcement, over US$20 million in rewards are waiting, with players invited to participate through WOW, PDP, PMGO & PMGC, and NEXT STAR.
The official campaign sums it up with four simple actions:
Build a map. Design a skin. Win a competition. Post a clip.
Here is what each path means and how players can get involved.
1. Join WOW: Build Your Own Map
Love creating new game modes or experimenting with different gameplay ideas?
The first Reward Drop path is World of Wonder, or WOW, PUBG MOBILE’s creation ecosystem.
PUBG MOBILE describes this route simply as:
“Join WOW. Build a map.”
WOW gives creators the opportunity to build custom PUBG MOBILE experiences and publish their own creations. PUBG MOBILE also runs official WOW creation competitions where eligible creators can submit their work and compete for rewards based on factors such as creativity, gameplay quality, popularity, and overall execution.
The official PUBG MOBILE website has a dedicated World of Wonder hub, making it the main destination for players interested in creating and exploring WOW content.
For players who enjoy designing maps and inventing new ways to play PUBG MOBILE, WOW offers a completely different route from traditional battle royale competition.

2. Join PDP: Design Skins and In-Game Items
The second Reward Drop path is for artists and designers.
PUBG MOBILE’s Ptopia Design Project, or PDP, is its official global player-creation program. PUBG MOBILE describes PDP as a world created “by players, for players,” with a growing collection of official design contests covering different types of game content.
For Reward Drop, the message is:
“Join PDP. Design a skin.”
Players can participate in official PDP competitions by creating concepts for firearm finishes, outfits, season rewards, avatars, avatar frames, Space Gifts, graffiti, and other in-game assets.
There are also real cash prizes attached to individual competitions.
For example, the PDP 2026 Global Firearm Finish Design Contest features a US$60,000 prize pool, with selected designs competing for awards and the possibility of being developed into in-game content.
PUBG MOBILE is also running its first official PDP Item Creative Design Contest, covering Avatars, Avatar Frames, Space Gifts and Graffiti with a US$20,000 prize pool. Its submission period ended on August 10, 2026, with the official judging stage beginning on August 11.
That makes PDP one of the clearest Reward Drop opportunities for players with illustration, fashion, concept art, or game-design skills.

3. Join PMGO & PMGC: Compete on the Esports Stage
Not a creator or designer? Competitive PUBG MOBILE players have their own route.
Reward Drop highlights:
“Join PMGO & PMGC. Win a competition.”
PMGO — PUBG MOBILE Global Open — and PMGC — PUBG MOBILE Global Championship — form part of PUBG MOBILE’s official competitive ecosystem.
PUBG MOBILE Esports has continued running PMGO qualification opportunities throughout 2026. For example, the official PUBG MOBILE Esports account opened registration for 2026 PMGO Season 2 from June 15 to July 5 and explicitly described the competition as an opportunity to “play your way to PMGC.”
Unlike WOW and PDP, this route is all about competitive performance. Players and teams must progress through the relevant qualification and tournament structure, with rewards depending on the specific competition and their results.
For players who believe their strongest skill is winning on the battleground, esports is the Reward Drop path built for them.

4. Join NEXT STAR: Create PUBG MOBILE Content
The fourth path makes Reward Drop accessible to another major part of the PUBG MOBILE community: content creators.
PUBG MOBILE says:
“Join NEXT STAR. Post a clip.”
Next Star is PUBG MOBILE’s official creator program designed to support content creators and help smaller influencers grow.
One of the most notable parts of the program is that you do not need a large audience to apply.
PUBG MOBILE’s official Next Star page currently lists the basic requirements as:
- 0 followers required
- At least 2 PUBG MOBILE-related videos published within the last 3 months
- Compliance with the PUBG MOBILE Next Star Program Code of Conduct
Supported platforms currently include YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and Twitch.
Creators accepted into the program can access benefits including in-game titles, account verification opportunities, other in-game rewards, beta test access and potential official collaborations with PUBG MOBILE.
So even if you’re just beginning to create PUBG MOBILE videos, guides, highlights or entertaining clips, Next Star offers an official route into the game’s creator ecosystem.

What Does the “US$20M+ in Rewards” Actually Mean?
This is an important distinction.
PUBG MOBILE’s official Reward Drop announcement states that “Over US$20,000,000 in rewards are waiting” and immediately presents the four paths: WOW, PDP, PMGO & PMGC, and NEXT STAR.
However, players should not interpret this as one new US$20 million cash prize pool shared by everyone who signs up for Reward Drop.
Instead, Reward Drop brings together multiple PUBG MOBILE creator, design and competitive programs under one campaign. Each program has its own eligibility requirements, contest formats, schedules and reward structures.
For example, individual PDP competitions have their own separately published prize pools, while esports rewards depend on specific tournaments. WOW also operates through its own creation activities, and Next Star has its own creator requirements and benefits.
In other words, US$20M+ represents the broader reward opportunities promoted through the Reward Drop ecosystem rather than a single one-time giveaway.
Which PUBG MOBILE Reward Drop Path Is for You?
The biggest appeal of Reward Drop is that you don’t have to be only one type of PUBG MOBILE player.
If you love building new gameplay experiences, try WOW.
If you’re an artist or designer, explore PDP.
If competitive play is your strength, aim for PMGO and PMGC.
And if you’d rather make videos, highlights, guides or other PUBG MOBILE content, Next Star gives aspiring creators a way to get started — even without an established follower base.
With four different paths and more than US$20 million in rewards promoted across the initiative, PUBG MOBILE Reward Drop is opening more ways for its community to create, compete and get rewarded.
