Seasons 5 and 6 will feature the largest prize pool in SPS history, which might reach almost 4.4 million dollars.

“The level of investment we are seeing from developers and the exponential growth of the Snapdragon Pro Series underscores why mobile gaming is the future of esports.” said Sam Braithwaite, vice president of mobile gaming ecosystems at SPS. “We are proud to continue our work with Qualcomm Technologies at the forefront of competition and technology to enable more players to be part of tournaments.”
The continued growth of the ecosystem follows a successful second year for SPS, which saw nearly 1 billion matches played (representing a 13,200% increase over the previous year) for 4.4 million subscribers across Asia, America North, Latin America and Europe. The esports competition also gave fans more opportunities to watch games, with more than 23.7 million hours watched (231% increase from Year 1). The growth was anchored in several new developments, such as the introduction of Latin America as a competitive region, events in stadiums in India and Indonesia and the integration of the global Call of Duty©: Mobile circuit.
Watch the trailer for Year 3, which starts this month, with some competitions already underway:
Year 3 Overview
The Snapdragon Pro Series Year 3 roadmap includes a list of global competitions, starting with April’s Mobile Open across all games and ending with Mobile Masters in 2025. The crowning moment of the year brings the newly added game ‘Mobile Legends: Bang Bang’ (MLBB) for Southeast Asia – where mobile game consumption has doubled in the last four years. SPS already has a successful track record in the region, with the June 2023 MLBB tournaments attracting over 1 million viewers and breaking attendance records.
In addition, Year 3 will see the expansion of partnerships with MOONTON Games, developer of MLBB, and Supercell, developer of Brawl Stars, and will also feature the return of the Call of Duty©: Mobile competitive circuit for Snapdragon Pro Series for another year promoting opportunities for fans to watch, compete and win in three of the most popular mobile games.
