PUBG MOBILE DONATES $2M USD FOR DIRECT RELIEF’S COVID-19 RESPONSE

Early in July, PUBG MOBILE launched the social responsibility campaign #PUBGMPlayAsOne to support the humanitarian aid organization Direct Relief on the COVID-19 global response project to supply medical aid to frontline healthcare workers. PUBG MOBILE players were able to support and participate directly in the response through a community fundraiser and in-game running challenge – resulting in a donation of $2 million from PUBG MOBILE to the cause.

It is revealed in PUBG MOBILE’s social channel (link) that players participated in the in-game running challenge have achieved a final milestone of a total 864 million kilometers in distance. This impressive feat raised the official donation of $2 million from PUBG MOBILE correspondingly, as promised in the event.
