OnePlus has officially teamed up with VALORANT Mobile and Game For Peace, the Chinese version of PUBG Mobile, to support key tournaments in China.
Game For Peace was released in 2019 as a compliant replacement for PUBG Mobile to meet Chinese government regulations including removing blood and gore, which allowed Tencent to monetize it officially.
As a part of this deal, the company’s newly launched OnePlus 15 will serve as the exclusive smartphone for major competitions, including the VALORANT Mobile China National Competition and the Peace Elite League (PEL).

The announcement dropped right alongside the OnePlus 15’s China debut on October 27, 2025, and it’s clear that gaming is a huge part of the phone’s identity. The device comes with a rendering mode specifically tuned for both VALORANT Mobile and Game For Peace, promising high frame rate gameplay for competitive matches.
This partnership couldn’t come at a better time. VALORANT Mobile is ramping up its esports rollout in China, with national qualifiers wrapping up earlier in October and team stages kicking off now. Meanwhile, Game For Peace keeps its position as one of China’s most popular mobile esports titles, second only to the market leader, Honor of Kings.
This latest China deal is just the newest chapter in OnePlus’ growing esports playbook. The brand’s been busy elsewhere too, recently teaming up with GodLike Esports as the official device partner for their BGMI team, and backing India’s BGMS 2025 as the title sponsor, which also introduced the event’s first-ever women’s tournament.
