PUBG Mobile’s Play for Green initiative has yielded impressive results, showcasing the power of gaming for positive environmental impact. The Conservancy Event, part of this initiative, saw 20 million players participate in the Run for Green, collectively sprinting a staggering 4.8 billion kilometers. This virtual exertion translated into real-world conservation: the protection of 750,000 square feet of vital ecosystems across Pakistan, Indonesia, and Brazil.

The Play for Green campaign engaged players by showcasing the effects of climate change through in-game exploration of Erangel's ruins across two distinct maps. While quantifying the impact of increased climate change awareness is challenging, the tangible conservation efforts demonstrate a significant contribution from dedicated PUBG Mobile players.

PUBG Mobile's commitment to conservation is evident in their 2024 Playing for the Planet award win for the Play for Green initiative. The strategy of combining engaging events with exclusive in-game rewards to drive real-world conservation appears highly effective. The campaign also incorporated educational elements, ensuring players gained knowledge alongside enjoying the in-game activities.
