The team also failed to qualify for the PUBG Mobile Global Championship (PMGC) 2025.

In November 2024, K9 Esports signed Omega, Slug, Beast, NinjaBoi, and Arclyn for its BGMI lineup. These players delivered astonishing performances in 2025. The club has now decided to make changes in its roster ahead of the 2026 season; Omega, Slug, and NinjaBoi remain in the squad. Krafton has already announced the roadmap for next year.

The roster maintained its consistency and secured second place in the Battlegrounds Mobile India Showdown (BMSD) 2025. The event featured only one spot for the PMGC 2025. The team failed to maintain its consistency in the BGMI International Cup (BMIC) 2025, which featured two spots for the PMGC, and ended up in 10th position in the International Cup.
