If you’re into chaos, big plays, or just watching some of your favorite streamers lose their minds, January 24, 2025, needs to be circled on your calendar. Twitch Rivals is cranking up the heat with a PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS event that’s about as intense as gaming gets. The spotlight, of course, is the PUBG “Destruction Comes to Twitch Rivals” showdown, kicking off at 2:00 PM PST (22:00 UTC). This isn’t your average Friday night shootout. We’re talking a $100,000 prize pool—split across five matches, meaning each round packs serious cash incentives for clutch moves, wild shootouts, and, inevitably, some clash-of-the-titans blunders.
But it’s not just the money or the streamers that’ll have your attention glued to the screen. The tournament’s playground is none other than the freshly updated Sanhok map. If you remember the old loot truck and recall system, both are back—and they completely flip classic strategies. The loot truck, in particular, sets off frantic battles as players chase after game-changing weapons and armor, all while dodging ambushes. And with the recall system, getting eliminated isn’t necessarily the end. Gamers get a second shot if their teammates survive long enough, drawing out last-second heroics and dramatic comebacks.
More than 75 streamers are going head-to-head, and some of the loudest personalities on Twitch will be leading the charge as Team Captains. While the complete roster is hush-hush until things get closer, you can count on familiar faces, crowd favorites, and probably a few dark horses hungry to claim bragging rights. With so much on the line and the format designed for team-based strategy, nobody can carry alone—all the action will come down to clutch calls and fast adaption.
Even if you’re just watching from the comfort of your own couch, there’s plenty in it for you. Twitch Drops return in force, giving viewers exclusive in-game rewards just for tuning in. Stick around for 30, 60, or 90 minutes, and you’ll scoop up three different sprays. Feeling dedicated? Stream for a solid 150 minutes and that ultra-rare Twitch Rivals Jacket is yours to flex in-game. The more you watch, the more loot you stack up.
Twitch has got streams running live across North America, Europe, and LATAM—so you won’t miss a moment no matter where you are. The big money, the constantly shifting action, and a Sanhok map that rewards smart play and risks all combine for a tournament nobody in the battle royale scene will want to skip. Grab your popcorn and queue it up on Twitch; PUBG’s about to get rowdy.
