PUBG India Cup 2026: ₹25 Lakh PC Tournament Announced [Confirmed]

KRAFTON India Esports officially announced the PUBG India Cup 2026 (PIC 2026), marking the nation's premier publisher-backed PC esports tournament featuring a ₹25 lakh prize pool and scheduled to run from November 11 to 29 across online brackets. According to verified reports from TalkEsport, registrations for this open-for-all Battlegrounds PC competition are currently live on the official portal until November 4 at 23:59 IST. Unlike previous KRAFTON roadmap iterations that focused entirely on mobile titles like BGMI, PIC 2026 introduces four rigorous stages culminating in a high-stakes 16-team Grand Final showdown. Industry analysts also note unconfirmed insider reports suggesting India may secure its own dedicated PUBG PC competitive region by 2027, dramatically expanding local esports organizational investments and franchise opportunities. This historic publisher pivot directly addresses long-standing community demands for structured professional PC infrastructure across South Asia. Building on recent competitive landscapes and lessons from events like the [PUBG Mobile PMGO 2026 Pakistan: Worst S-Tier Event Ever?
