Which esports games have mobile versions in 2025?

With esports on the rise, it’s no surprise that mobile esports is taking the world by storm too. With everyone owning a phone, it makes sense that esports gaming is coming to the platform. Some of the top mobile esports tournaments of 2025 have reached millions of views and thousands of dollars in prize pools, making them just as big as typical esports tournaments. 

Some of the biggest esports games have been released on mobile too, like Call of Duty Mobile and League of Legends: Wild Rift. Even if you don’t have a PC or console, or you just want to hone your skills on the go, then mobile esports games are the way to go. 

Some of the best esports games have seen developers release mobile versions, and we’ve listed them all below so you know which titles you can jump straight into from your phone. 

Call of Duty is easily one of the most popular esports games of all time, making it only sensible that a mobile version has been released. With an already established esports league run by Activision Blizzard, called the Call of Duty League (CDL), the developers have since invested in the mobile esports scene too. 

The Call of Duty Mobile World Championship 2025 kicked off in April 2025 and featured a $1 million prize pool. You can find upcoming esports games broadcast on the dedicated Call of Duty Mobile Esports YouTube channel. Players who aren’t competing professionally can play for in-game rewards during the esports season. 

This year, you’ll find that six regions are competing in this year’s Call of Duty mobile esports season, including North America, Europe, India, LATAM, and Japan. Last year, the Philippine-American team Elevate won the Championship, taking home $400,000 in prize money.

One of the most popular esports games is PUBG, otherwise known as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. After coming to mobile back in 2018, the PUBG Mobile Pro League (PMPL) quickly developed in 2020 and ran until 2023 with major prize pools in the millions of dollars. 

Ever since, the PUBG Mobile esports scene has flourished even further with the PUBG Mobile Global Championship, World Cup, and Global Open all occurring around the world. Last year’s PUBG Mobile Global Championship saw a prize pool of $3 million shared amongst different teams based on standings. 

The cumulative sum of all PUBG Mobile esports prize pools across 2024 was over $16 million. Earlier this year, the PUBG Mobile 2025 esports calendar was released, which shows plans for multiple in-person tournaments, including a return to Tashkent, Uzbekistan. 

League of Legends is one of the most popular esports games in the world, and Riot Games’ attempt to capitalise on that success on mobile has been a bit of an uphill battle. After releasing Wild Rift back in 2020, Riot attempted to introduce an esports scene for the game to little success, lagging behind the competition with only 54,000 peak viewers during the Global Championship 2022. 

Shortly after this disappointment, Riot Games announced it was stripping back Wild Rift esports operations in all regions aside from Asia in 2023. While the Wild Rift esports league continued to flourish in the East, the rest of the world craved some competitive action. leading to the introduction of Organized Play from Riot Games in 2024. 

Organized Play offers structured, community-driven tournaments and events, allowing players to compete for rewards. Riot Games supports these by providing resources and encouragement, and recently stated that they intend to keep these going throughout 2025 and beyond. 

With thriving esports game tournaments for its parent title on PC, Rocket League Sideswipe had a promising scene on the cards. Released in November 2021, a competitive esports scene started shortly after in December 2021, thanks to ongoing support from the creator Psyonix, who sponsored events and provided tens of thousands of dollars in prize money. 

Less than a year later, the official Rocket League Sideswipe esports scene slowly disappeared. However, third-party providers started smaller-scale tournaments, which are still ongoing. These are available in Europe via Rocket Baguette, in Oceania with the RLO Swipe Series, through Rival Esports in North America, South America via Rocket Street, as well as Asia and the Middle East thanks to Grand Clash.

Similar to on PC, Fortnite, even on mobile, is one of the top 10 esports games. There is a range of ranked cups that occur and allow anyone to get involved, compete, and win prizes, including cash. There are cross-platform cups, which allow all players from PC, console, and mobile to play against each other. 

However, there are also mobile-only cups in which mobile players can compete to ensure they’re not at a disadvantage against PC and Console players. Unlike the PC version, there currently isn’t a Fortnite Mobile esports league, but with Epic Games putting a callout on their website to allow for community tournament licensing, it likely won’t be long before third parties start their own.

Despite not being out yet, VALORANT mobile is likely going to take the mobile global esports scene by storm. The PC version of the game is one of the top esports video games of all time, with over $2 million in prizes for the 2024 Valorant Champions. 

Right now, we have VALORANT mobile release date predictions, but no confirmation just yet. So far, we know that the game will be coming to China, and with the VALORANT esports scene thriving in the East, even more so than the rest of the world, it makes sense to expect the mobile esports scene to be no different.

However, one thing to keep in mind here is that the success of League of Legends did not equate to Wild Rift’s success for Riot Games in the past, so this is worth taking with a pinch of salt.  

There is also a range of other titles that are dominating the esports video games space. One of the biggest is Honor of Kings, which has a major cumulative prize pool of $20 million throughout 2024, the year the game officially released. Considering this major debut, it only makes sense that this will continue to grow, and with the Honor of Kings 2025 esports roadmap setting high expectations for what’s to come. 

Of all esports games, another title worth keeping an eye on is Free Fire, a battle royale on mobile only. The Esports World Cup 2024 had a prize pool of $1 million and released a 2025 esports roadmap earlier this year, which showcases promising growth for the title and competitive scene. 

Most of the titles on our list have been ported to mobile rather fantastically. While Wild Rift isn’t as intricate as League of Legends, this intentional change has made the game much easier to play on a smaller screen and also makes for quicker games, perfect for the fast-paced nature of mobile gaming. This is the same for PUBG mobile, which has made games faster-paced too. 

On the other hand, some titles like Rocket League Sideswipe have been entirely reimagined for the mobile scene. This title instead takes a 2D approach to the much-loved soccer game to make it easier to play and control on a smaller screen with limited inputs. 

While mobile games are increasing in popularity due to accessibility (everyone has a phone after all), it only makes sense for the mobile esports scene to thrive too. Some of the top esports games on PC have had the same success on mobile, too, with absolutely massive prize pools. On the other hand, some major developers like Riot Games just haven’t had the same results when porting to mobile.
