What are PUBG Mobile Promotion Matches?

PUBG Mobile promotion matches are like trial matches; you need to play before climbing up a specific high tier. Once you reach the threshold of points to reach Ace, Ace Master of Ace Dominator, you will have to play these promotion matches, where you will have to complete multiple individual rank progression challenges to get into the next tier. PUBG Mobile promotion matches have individualistic missions, completing which will let you climb up the top tiers.

This has been done to ensure that reaching higher tiers not only depends on the quantity of matches you play and team support, but also on your individual skills. Your promotion will depend on the number of enemies left before you get killed on the Battlegrounds. You will also receive one rank protection for each promotion match round. Once you make it to a higher tier, you will get exclusive skins as rewards and also badges to flaunt your grind. The developers believe the extra individual grind will make reaching the tiers worth remembering.

What is PUBG Mobile Season Series?

Three PUBG Mobile seasons will constitute a season series. This series will track all your previous performances and challenges you cleared. At the end of a season series, you will get a medal, which will be the highest accomplishment in the game. PUBG Mobile season series will also include an exclusive treasury from where you will get to select rare or Mythical skins, parachutes and more. This has been implemented to give the players something to grind for in the long term and not just for a period of a single season, as all the progress they make will help them claim a rarer medal.
