Meet the Winner of Thunder CUP 2025: Team Hide!
In the overall ranking, Team Hide ended first when AVReS and BoisInHell finished with the same total points. However, AVReS officially takes second place thanks to their two victories over BoisInHell, while BoisInHell won just one match against AVReS. Congratulations to them!
Thunder CUP kicked off on January 31st with 4v4 tank battles! The matches were full of surprises and pure action, with some unexpected twists along the way. Teams BoisInHell and Hide made it further than many anticipated, while DODEC was eliminated sooner than expected by AVReS and LEET. In an incredible double final, AVReS managed to secure victory against BoisInHell. Hide reached 3rd place after coming back from the loser bracket.
The second week of Thunder CUP came with 4v4 jet battles and was absolutely thrilling, with intense dogfights pushing every team to their limits! Team Restart surprised everyone by winning against Hide. But Hide didnt lose their confidence they took first place with an outstanding performance, winning 4 matches in a row in one day! Their captain, Shark, dominated the skies. Despite giving it their all, BoisInHell once again finished in second place this week. Only 5 points separated teams Hide and BoisInHell on the leaderboard!
The final phase, 5v5 mixed (tanks & jets) of Thunder CUP 2025 delivered an incredible showdown, with fierce matches until the very last round. By the end of Saturday, Hide had already secured at least 4th place, which was enough to guarantee their Thunder Cup victory even before the grand final. The fight for first place in this final tournament came down to AVReS vs. DODEC. Even though the overall ranking was already locked (AVReS in second and DODEC in fourth), DODEC gave it their all. After a first loss against AVReS, DODEC fought their way through to the victory of the 5v5 mixed tournament! All teams in Thunder CUP fought valiantly and showed some of the best action ever in tournaments. We congratulate and thank them for their participation!
The bundle is available until February 28th in the Gaijin store, and until March 13th for consoles (you asked for it, we made it for you!). Get them before theyre definitely gone!

War Thunder is a free-to-play, cross-platform MMO combat game for Windows, Linux, Mac and PlayStation®4 dedicated to military vehicles used in and around World War II and the Korean War. In War Thunder, you can take part in major battles on land, in the air, and at sea, fighting with real players from all over the world in a continuously developing environment.
War Thunder already offers a highly detailed experience in military aviation and ground forces combat, giving players access to a Guinness World Record breaking number of aircraft, as well as an abundance of tanks and other combat vehicles - and the number is constantly rising.
You can feel the unmatched intensity of aerial dogfights in a fighter, the decisive power of commanding a heavy strategic bomber or the heat of battle in a ground attacker, delivering precision strikes against your enemies. Alternatively, you can join the spearhead of armoured vehicles, fighting for dominance over the battlefield on the ground: Man a heavy tank with impressive armour and firepower, use the maneuverability of a medium or light tank to your advantage, or support your team by screening the skies with your anti aircraft vehicle - the choice is yours!
In the future, the game will also allow players to ‘set sail’ by commanding a variety of warships in the fight over the control of the world’s oceans, giving the game a truly epic scale.
Master your vehicles through both upgrades and personal experience in an environment that is constantly expanding and rewarding the personal skill of the player. Organise your efforts in one of the countless player squadrons and become an ace pilot or tanker - or both! Our thriving and welcoming community of millions of players is also actively participating in the game’s ongoing development, offering custom content through War Thunder Live, such as skins, missions and even vehicles.
War Thunder has something for everyone. Play cooperative games with your friends on Windows PC, Linux, Mac or PlayStation 4 against AI, or squad up for a PvP battle in a difficulty setting matching your play style, ranging from Arcade to Simulator using Mouse and Keyboard, Gamepad or Joystick.
