It’s amazing to see how gaming has grown beyond just entertainment and become a valuable tool for education. This collaboration, like many others, highlights that progress, and it’s great that both organizations are focused on helping students develop their skills and find future career paths.

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

I’m so excited about this new partnership! It means students from the course will actually get to show off their amazing projects at the USC Games Expo in May 2026 – that’s huge! And the best part? Top students will have internship interviews lined up for summer 2026. If you’re a creative person who loves games, this is a fantastic opportunity, so definitely give it your all!

PUBG Mobile has partnered with over 50 universities globally, offering students valuable learning opportunities, internships, and potential careers. Beyond that, players have created more than 4.4 million maps within the game, 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 clearly focused on making it easier for anyone to create games. Hopefully, this program will expand to more countries soon.
