PUBG Mobile version confusion

Many players online are a bit confused as to which version of PUBG Mobile will be used in the competition. The official notice just mentions “Asian Games Version”.

The ban of PUBG Mobile (global version) in China is the birth of this confusion. China has its very own, Game for Peace, which is the Chinese version of the Battle Royale game.

They simply cant use the global version because it is not approved. That has been the case for PUBG PC which still haven't got fully approved in China up to this day, same goes to the global version of PUBG Mobile hence why they have to clearly says "Asian Games Version"
