PUBG Mobile partners with VOV Gaming, Endless Studios to launch KSA contest

PUBG Mobile game has launched a contest in Riyadh in partnership with VOV Gaming, the experiential gaming company, and Endless Studios, a youth-centered game making studio.

The KSA PUBG Mobile Campus Design Contest is open to university and high school students across the Kingdom. Students are invited to create their own fan art and design concepts for game skins or a selection of in-game items and submit their artwork by April 12 online.

Finalists will be selected by a panel of judges to go through to a final stage of in-game voting, with PUBG Mobile players across Saudi Arabia voting for their favorite work. The winner will be announced in May.

The Saudi launch took place at VOV’s The Zone  gaming venue in Riyadh with students and game industry professionals gathering to hear about the contest.

The event combined the global phenomenon of PUBG Mobile, with VOV Gaming’s passion for creating communities in games, and was supported by Endless Studios’ dedication to gaming education for youth.

Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan Al-Saud, vice chairman of Savvy Games Group and chairman of Saudi Esports Federation, said on the occasion: “We seek to provide opportunities and participate in establishing partnerships in the gaming sector to empower talents and unlock the exceptional potential of Saudi Arabia.

“Attracting international companies to the Kingdom through investments and partnerships contributes to providing skills, knowledge transfer and capacity building in the gaming and esports ecosystem.

“This partnership will enable the company to bring together Saudi university and high school students, and video game experts, establish a platform to showcase the talents of students in designing video games, and provide video game developers with a unique opportunity to improve their knowledge and hone their skills.”

Jerry Gamez, CEO, VOV Gaming, said: “The gaming industry is growing rapidly in Saudi Arabia with a strong drive locally to develop homegrown talent. Part of our mission at VOV is to enable gamers of all genders, disciplines and abilities to fulfill their potential.”

Matt Dalio, founder, Endless Studios, said: “We are delighted to partner with PUBG Mobile and VOV Gaming at this event to reach out to students and invite them to join our growing community of young creators, designers, engineers, and artists.”

Azure opens Azure Takhassusi residential community in Riyadh, fully leased to Saudia

Azure, a Mohammed Al Habib Real Estate company and the owner of Riyadh’s largest portfolio of residential compounds, has announced the official opening of Azure Takhassusi, its newest premium residential community. The project has been fully leased to Saudia, the Kingdom’s national flag carrier.

The launch marks a major milestone in the eight-year partnership between Azure and Saudia, one of the longest-running and most successful corporate housing collaborations in Saudi Arabia. The development reflects Saudia’s continued confidence in Azure’s ability to deliver high-quality residential environments that meet strict standards of comfort, privacy, service excellence and operational reliability.

Purpose-built to support the wellbeing and lifestyle needs of airline professionals, Azure Takhassusi offers more than accommodation. The community provides a fully integrated living experience, combining modern residences, premium facilities, dedicated resident services and professional community management. Designed to promote stability, convenience and peace of mind, the compound allows employees to focus on their professional responsibilities with confidence.

“This opening represents more than the launch of a new residential compound,” said Fahad Al Assaf, president of Azure. “It is a strong statement of trust built over eight years of partnership with Saudia. Azure Takhassusi reflects what long-term collaboration can achieve when two organizations share a commitment to quality, people and performance.”

For Saudia, fully leasing Azure Takhassusi underscores the airline’s continued investment in its workforce. By providing secure, comfortable and professionally managed housing, the airline aims to strengthen its employee value proposition, recognizing the role that high-quality living environments play in attracting and retaining talent.

Azure currently operates the largest portfolio of residential compounds in Riyadh and is a market leader in corporate housing for major institutions across the Kingdom. Its partnership with Saudia remains one of its most significant, spanning eight years of steady growth and large-scale delivery.

The opening of Azure Takhassusi marks another milestone in that journey, setting a new benchmark for corporate housing that supports workforce wellbeing, operational excellence and long-term partnerships in Saudi Arabia.
