# Esports at the 2022 Asian Games – PUBG Mobile

The PUBG Mobile (locally known in China as Peacekeeper Elite) event at the 2022 Asian Games took place from 29 September to 1 October 2023 in Hangzhou, China. The game is also known as Game for Peace.
The game used for the tournament is a modified edition of the mobile game PUBG Mobile made specifically for the Asian Games. The battle royale feature of the game was removed, which meant players would not be able to shoot against each other. This is to comply with the International Olympic Committee's preference for titles compliant with the "Olympic values". The tournament featured the game's Off-Road Racing Mode, where a teams of four would race against each other. They had to pass checkpoints where they can shoot targets for additional points.
