It’s amazing to see how gaming has grown – it’s no longer just about fun, but also a powerful tool for education. This collaboration is a great example, as both organizations clearly want to help students develop valuable skills and find better career paths.

Top-performing students can showcase their projects at the 2026 USC Games Expo

This collaboration will provide exciting opportunities for students. They’ll be able to present their work at the USC Games Expo in May 2026, and the best students will have internship interviews lined up for the following summer. If you’re a creative individual, we encourage you to apply and do your best!

PUBG Mobile has partnered with over 50 universities globally, offering students valuable opportunities like specialized training, internships, and potential careers. Meanwhile, players have created more than 4.4 million maps in WOW, resulting in over 33 billion matches played.

With the recent Version 1.0 update this September and a new $10 million prize pool for creators, the game is showing a strong commitment to making game development accessible to a wider audience. Hopefully, this program will expand to more countries soon.
