Honor of Kings Sets New Guinness World Record for Largest Esports Audience in History

The mobile MOBA sensation Honor of Kingshas officially entered the Guinness World Records after hosting the largest live audience ever recorded at an esports event.

A Historic Night at the Bird’s Nest

The King Pro League Grand Finals 2025 saw AG Super Play claim victory over Wolves in an intense 4–2 showdown. The final took place at China’s iconic National Stadium, widely known as the Bird’s Nest, where an astounding 62,196 fans filled the stands — setting a new global record for esports attendance.

The excitement around the event was off the charts, with tickets selling out in just 12 seconds after becoming available. Representatives from the Guinness World Records were present on-site to officially confirm and announce the record during the halftime show.

Record-Breaking Prizes and Legacy

AG Super Play walked away with $2.8 million in prize money, while Wolves secured $1.4 million for second place. The total prize pool for the tournament reached an impressive $10 million, cementing the competition as one of the biggest in mobile esports history.

The previous record for the largest esports audience was held by PES 2016 UEFA Euro 2016 in Paris, which drew 45,000 spectators. That event coincided with the real-world UEFA Euro 2016 football tournament and concluded with a live viewing party of the semifinal match between France and Germany.

With this milestone, Honor of Kings continues to solidify its status as a global esports powerhouse — and a testament to the ever-growing popularity of mobile gaming on the world stage.
