PUBG NATIONS CUP (PNC) 2023: Everything you want to know

The PUBG Nations Cup (PNC) is making its much-anticipated return in 2023, bringing together 16 countries from around the world to compete for the coveted title of champions. This tournament holds a special place in the PUBG Esports roadmap, as it focuses on national teams vying for glory, rather than organizations.

The PNC will be held once again in Seoul, South Korea, the city that hosted the inaugural edition in 2019. After four years, Seoul is ready to crown an international champion once more, as the 16 teams battle it out from September 15 to 17 for the prestigious title.

Prize pool of the PNC

In terms of prize pool, last year's PNC boasted an impressive $500,000, but this year it has been slightly reduced to $300,000. However, the final prize money is expected to increase, as a percentage of sales from an upcoming in-game bundle will contribute to the pool.
