Asian Games 2022 has added PUBG mobile as an official competition in its schedule. The popular battle royale game will have events such as target shooting and racing to determine the winners. The Asian Esports Federation published a set of rules for the competition and will soon announce the schedule as well. PUBG mobile is essentially a battle royale game. Interestingly, that game mode will not be a part of the Asian Games. The website laid down the competitions and their tentative rules on the website. A cross-country shooting competition will headline the PUBG mobile esports event.

There will be 16 players in a game divided into teams of 4 players on each side. The competition will feature multiple stages and each stage would have a target shooting mission that needs to be completed. The teams would then drive their vehicles to complete the track. The rankings would be decided by the order teams cross the finish line.

Since PUBG Mobile was banned in India, the country’s participation in the event is unlikely. Asian Games 2022 will take place in September 2022 and no schedule for this event has been released so far.
