CHICAGO March 23, 2018Today, SteelSeries is proud to announce its official partnership with leading battle royale game, PLAYERUNKNOWNS BATTLEGROUNDS (PUBG).

This partnership signals the coming of incredible products, meaningful integrations along with creative activities among the PUBG influencer and streamer communities, said SteelSeries CEO, Ehtisham Rabbani. Together our brands are creating an opportunity for the battle royal community to connect their PUBG obsession with premium gear that is both innovative and designed for competitive esports.
SteelSeries was the peripherals brand we considered partnering with, because of the tremendous reputation the brand has built over the last two decades, said Shane Rho, Senior Marketing Manager, EMEA of PUBG Corporation. This partnership provides our community with the ability to show off their PUBG pride while using the best peripherals in the industry.
Today, the first in a series of peripherals will be available, the QcK+ PUBG Edition Mousepad for $19.99 / 24.99.
