KRAFTON is preparing for the launch of 'PUBG: Playgrounds,' a new creative mode space, and is hosting a creative contest in collaboration with the global modding platform CurseForge. This event is designed to discover and encourage various game content created directly by users.

PUBG: Playgrounds is a new service that will be accessible via the in-game menu starting August 12. Users can browse and experience a variety of game modes created by others. The contest is divided into three categories: Combat, Survival, and Creative. Participants can submit one or more entries for each category, and multiple entries across different categories are permitted.

The total prize pool for this tournament is $95,000 (approximately 140 million KRW). Each of the three categories—Combat, Survival, and Creative—has a prize pool of $25,000 (approximately 37 million KRW), with the winner of each category receiving $10,000 (approximately 15 million KRW). Additionally, prizes will be awarded to six works selected through community voting and ten mid-term outstanding works selected during the tournament period. The submission period is from August 12 to September 2. Following community voting from September 6 to 9, the final 30 winners will be announced on September 14.

Taehyun Kim, PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Director, stated, "PUBG: Playgrounds is a space where users can create and share new gameplay experiences," adding, "We hope this contest will lead to creative ideas being implemented into various game modes that more users can enjoy together."

Uri Marchand, co-founder and CEO of Overwolf, said, "The best ideas come from the users who love the game the most," and added, "It is very meaningful to work with KRAFTON to provide an opportunity to showcase user creations to more PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS players."
