“Part of my life”
Messi said: “Video games have always been a huge part of my life, and I find them useful to relax and enjoy my time outside of training and to connect with my colleagues, friends, and family. PUBG Mobile is so much fun and I am among the millions of fans around the world. I feel proud of our collaboration and would like to invite all Players to join me in PUBG Mobile.
“Lucky”
Vincent Wang, Head of PUBG Mobile Publishing at Tencent Games, said: “We are very fortunate to have a global sports star join PUBG Mobile. And because we know that many PUBG Mobile players are football fans too, we can’t wait to celebrate this. Sport is in the game and spread the atmosphere of the ball among the new fans of the game.”
