There were initial reports of PUBG Mobile Asian Games version removing the BR mode and now, the picture is quite clear.
According to the official website, A total of sixteen players or four teams will participate in each game. A match will be comprised of multiple stages with each stage having its own target shooting mission.
After the shooting mission, teams will drive a vehicle across the designated track to complete the game. Rankings will be determined on the basis of team’s arrival at the finishing line.
