PUBG Mobile is currently in the grips of another Ancient Secret season, with players able to explore versions of Erangel and Mirimar that hold secrets to the past with players able to explore ancient tombs and catacombs to fight the undead and earn some high-tier loot.

Now, the ancients are bringing even more prizes for players to win with the Pharaoh's Cup set to give players the opportunity to compete for prizes worth over $13,000 USD, with Apple iPhones and iPads just some of what is up for grabs.
