Forget Candy Crush. Modern mobile gaming is a competitive beast.

Titles like PUBG Mobile, Mobile Legends, and Call of Duty: Mobile host international tournaments with millions in prizes. Devices like the ASUS ROG Phone and RedMagic 9 Pro are built specifically for high-performance gaming on the go.

Touchscreen controls have evolved, and Bluetooth controllers make the experience even sharper. Some games even offer full cross-play with PC or console.

Mobile esports is especially big in Asia and South America — and it’s only growing. For many, mobile is not a “casual” platform — it’s the main battlefield.
