PUBG MOBILE, co-developed by Lightspeed and Quantum Studios of Tencent Games and KRAFTON, based on KRAFTON’s PUBG IP and one of the world’s most popular mobile games, is pleased to announce that it will be one of eight games included in the official esports program for the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, China. This is the first time PUBG MOBILE has been included as an event in the Asian Games. The Games will run September 10th to September 25th 2022, with competitors playing on the PUBG MOBILE Asian Games Version for their chance at gold.

The Asian Games is a multi-sport event that’s held every four years, in which Asia’s best athletes compete. The event is recognised by the International Olympic Committee as the second-largest event of its kind, behind only the Olympics. The Asian Games first paved the way for esports representation with its inclusion as a demonstration sport in 2018. In 2020, and now 2022, esports is part of the official program and a medalled event. In the 19th Asian Games, PUBG MOBILE will join seven other games in the program: Arena of Valor Asian Games Version, DOTA 2, Dream Three Kingdoms 2, EA SPORTS FIFA branded soccer games, Hearthstone, League of Legends, Street Fighter V.

As one of the largest and most accessible esports programs in the world, PUBG MOBILE’s esports circuit has seen massive growth in 2021 with 14 new leagues and a total prize pool of $15,000,000 USD for the year, the highest in mobile esports history. PUBG MOBILE’s inclusion in the 2022 Asian Games shows its continued worldwide growth as one of the most popular mobile esports games, having recently surpassed over 1 billion downloads worldwide. 

James Yang, Director of Global Esports, Tencent Games, said “It’s an honour for PUBG MOBILE to be included in the 2022 Asian Games. We’re incredibly lucky to have a number of extremely talented players from several countries in the region, and can’t wait to see them compete as part of such a prestigious event. Fans of the game can look forward to exciting competition between the region’s best PUBG MOBILE players as they’re celebrated alongside the best athletes in Asia.”

Minu Lee, the head of the PUBG MOBILE Strategic Marketing Department at KRAFTON, stated, “I’m glad that PUBG MOBILE is selected as the official medal event at the Asian Games Hangzhou 2022, which will be an opportunity for people from all over Asia to come together as one. I hope that fans and players will be able to unite through a new version on PUBG MOBILE, which we developed with PUBG IP specifically for the Asian Games.”

Spintec has successfully participated at this year’s G2E Asia. This year, Spintec’s focus was on innovation tailored for the Asian market. Their super popular Baccarat game was introduced with no less than eight side bets this year. The existing Lucky 6 was accompanied by Big and Small Lucky 6, Lucky 7, Big and Small Lucky 7, and Super Lucky 7. Their solution also features the latest side bets, recently approved in Macau: Pairs+, Monkey/No monkey, and 4/5/6 cards.

They also showed their flagship game Galactic Spin, which has received an extremely interesting upgrade this year. Spintec introduced a release which integrates no less than three roulette games: a classic version, a version with multipliers and Galactic Spin with free spins. All three are available to the player to choose from, but the choice is rarely simple as they are all extremely immersive and fun.

To support this dynamic playing environment, Spintec also premiered their MultiView game platform. It allows players to seamlessly display and participate in up to four different games simultaneously on a single screen, with the option to expand any game to full screen directly from the split view. Dipping in and out of different games has never been so simple and intuitive. A built-in lobby allows players to browse and filter available games by type and choose the one they like best. The MultiView platform currently supports roulette and baccarat, with other games coming soon. As a special mode of operation, the platform also features a fast-switching game functionality, specifically developed for multi-table baccarat.

Eye shaped roulette and dice had a debut in Asia at G2E and garnered a lot of attention. It accommodates up to 12 players engaging in three different games simultaneously: roulette, Sic Bo and craps. It delivers an exceptionally rich gameplay through a wide range of betting options. In this special edition it also featured Spintec’s flagship game Galactic Spin and Dragons Jackpot, the amazing three-level progressive jackpot.

The visitors at G2E Asia also had an opportunity to experience first-hand what Spintec’s dedicated tournament experience can do. Its player-focused design serves a single purpose: to keep players engaged for longer while sustaining the excitement and competitive spirit that tournaments are known for. It features a LED wall showcasing dynamic content for both players and spectators, presenting live information across individual roulette and baccarat games while supporting live, automated and virtual formats. Game graphics are tailored specially for LED walls, including a reimagined implementation for baccarat. The entire setup was extremely well received at the G2E, as these types of gaming experiences are becoming more and more popular across the globe.
