Exciting news awaits fans of PUBG and other online video games as the Asian Games, a prominent sporting event, announces their inclusion in the competition. The 19th Asian Games is set to kick off on September 23 at the Chinese Hangzhou Olympic Sport Center Stadium.

In a significant move, the organizers have recognized the growing popularity of e-sports and decided to feature titles such as FIFA, PUBG, Arena of Valor, Dota-2, League of Legends, Dream of Three Kings-2, and Street Fighter-5 in the upcoming 19th Asian Games.

Despite facing a ban of PUBG in India since July of the previous year, the game’s developers recently held discussions with the Prime Minister to explore the possibility of reintroducing PUBG in the country and it is reported that the authorization will be granted with severe guidelines.
