Mobile esports games increased in popularity over the past few years with the rise of mobile gaming and enthusiast gamers.

Mobile esports games also differ from traditional ones. They are usually shorter and simpler than their PC or console counterparts and better yet. Esports games are attractive for enthusiast gamers the same as the NBA betting odds are attractive for NBA fans or NFL Lines for NFL bettors.

If you enjoy mobile games, below is our list of the best mobile esports games.

Vainglory

Vainglory is a mobile device multiplayer battle arena game that is free to play but features in-app purchases. The game features two teams of five players who have to destroy the enemy base while defending their own.

Each player controls an avatar called a “hero,” which has unique abilities and weapons they can use to attack enemies and defend themselves. The game is typically played 5v5, although you can also play 3v3 or 4v4 matches if you prefer smaller groups.

The game has been around since 2014 and has grown in popularity year after year thanks to its high-quality graphics and fast-paced gameplay style that’s easy to pick up but hard to master. It also has robust support for esports competitions at local and international levels.

There’s even an annual world championship called Vainglory, where teams worldwide compete for big prize pools and glory!

Clash Royale

Clash Royale is a card-based battle game that plays two players against one another in a real-time battle.

Players use cards they collect during gameplay to create their deck and build their army before entering the battlefield to fight against another player’s army.

The game was released in 2016 and has become one of the most popular mobile esports games.

Fortnite

Fortnite is another battle royale title that pits two teams against each other as they fight to be the last team standing at the end of each round.

There are three modes available in Fortnite: solo, duos, and squads, where players can join up with friends or strangers for some friendly competition (or not).

The game became so popular when it was released back in 2017 that it has now become one of the most played online video games ever created!

PUBG Mobile

This is a multiplayer battle game created by Tencent Games. In this game, 100 players drop onto a map from a plane, with the last player or team standing as the winner. The game has been extremely popular, especially in India and China, and has broken several mobile game records.

The game was released for iOS and Android in September 2017 and was an instant hit among gamers. The game’s popularity can be attributed to its simplistic gameplay, easy to learn but difficult to master.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes

This mobile game lets you collect and battle with characters from the Star Wars universe. It’s free, and you can purchase in-game currency with real money. The game has several different modes, including the ability to construct your team and take it into battle against other players’ teams.

The game launched in October 2015, with new content added regularly. The most recent update introduced new characters from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, like K-2SO and Jyn Erso.

Hearthstone

Hearthstone is the most popular mobile esports game for a good reason. It’s a card game based on World of Warcraft, and it has a thriving competitive scene. The game’s developer, Blizzard Entertainment, actually makes its games focusing on esports — Overwatch and Heroes of the Storm — but Hearthstone is their first mobile title.

Since its release in 2014, Hearthstone has drawn many players to the world of esports. There are multiple tournaments every year with cash prizes up to $1 million, making it one of the most lucrative games in the industry. The best players often have sponsorships from big companies like Twitch and Red Bull.

Call of Duty: Mobile

Call of Duty: Mobile offers a fast-paced, arcade-style shooter experience that allows players to jump into the action and compete on their phones or tablets in short bursts.

You can choose to play as one of three different classes from your phone: Assault, Tactical, or Marksman. You’ll also see your character’s face and customize your loadout with different weapons, attachments, and perks based on how you want to play.

The game has been built from the ground up for mobile gaming, making it easy to pick up and play in just seconds.

North Star Network are delighted to announce the acquisition of umdoisesportes.com.br, which becomes the latest addition to NSN’s global sports media portfolio.

Born from the GRPCOM merger of the editorial teams of Gazeta Do Povo and Tribuna do Paraná in 2020, Um Dois Esportes provides in-depth sports coverage and analysis for the Brazilian state of Paraná and beyond.

North Star Network co-founder Julien Josset said: “Thank you to the team at GRPCOM for their faith in us to take the brand forward. Um Dois Esportes is an established and renowned site in Paraná State, and we’re excited about the challenge of developing this asset.”

“We’re happy to maintain the collaboration with the existing editorial team, and look forward to working with them, bringing our unique NSN approach, to take UDE forward.” NSN’s signing of Um Dois Esportes is the media house’s fourth acquisition of 2024, following the recent deals to purchase UK-based SportsMole and MrFixitsTips, as well as Chilean site AlAireLibre, which was announced in March.

The latest addition to the North Star media portfolio joins existing assets including Top Mercato, Afrik-Foot, and Vringe. The Paris-based company already oversees a significant Brazilian operation, delivering over 6 million sessions per month, from the likes of Trivela, Premier League Brasil and Lakers Brasil.

NSN will retain Curitiba-based journalists from the Um Dois Esportes legacy team to maintain the asset’s unique tone and popular coverage of the Paraná sports scene across site and social.

“We were surprised by the interest, and initially had no intention of selling Um Dois, but as the conversations evolved, we realised this was a serious group with good intentions,” said GRPCOM Director Rafael Mello. “We were very happy to see our project being valued by a large international group and going global, demonstrating the quality of the content we produced.”

“We’re also proud that North Star inherited our journalists, who are truly responsible for the success of the product we offer readers every day.”

Today, GIANTX is excited to announce an update to its LEC competitive roster. Antonio”Th3Antonio” Espinosa Bejarano is recognised as one of the most successful LVP Superliga players in the history of GIANTX, and he has now reached a pivotal moment in his career to compete in the League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC).

The LEC is the most important League of Legends competition in Europe and one of the most relevant in the international esports scene. The Barcelona-born ‘toplaner’ will be part of the lineup kicking off the LEC Summer split season in Berlin, which starts in June. As the community quotes; ‘Th3LEC’ is finally a reality.

Commenting on his new role, Th3Antonio said:

“This is the dream I’ve been working towards since I entered esports. I always wanted to compete at the highest level to face the best, and finally, I have this opportunity. I never stopped striving, and thanks to that and the work we’ve done together with all my teammates, we’ve achieved great things in Spain, but the LEC has always been my ultimate goal. Going to the LEC with my lifelong club, GIANTX, is a double dream. Everyone knows what GIANTX means to me”.

Sports Director at GIANTX, David Alonso, added:

“Th3Antonio deserves this opportunity, both in recognition of the level he’s at and all the work he has put in over the past few years. We are convinced of this decision and that he will give everything to succeed in the LEC. He has always been characterised by sacrificing himself for others, and lately, he has taken a step forward by leading in crucial moments, a clear sign of his maturity as a player”.

Having joined at a young age in 2017, Antonio ‘Th3Antonio’ Espinosa has become one of the most decorated players of the LVP Superliga and of GIANTX history. During his time with the team, he has won four Superliga titles, two Iberian Cups, one Copa, and has reached an EMEA Masters final, as well as other national competitions.

The decision to promote Th3Antonio reflects GIANTX’s need to implement changes following the results of the LEC Winter and Spring split seasons. In both splits, the team fell short in the first round of playoffs. The Summer split season is the main shot at Worlds for all teams, and the aim of the club was to make the necessary changes to achieve this goal. After a period of reflection and numerous trials, Th3Antonio has been chosen for the toplaner position.
