Events

Esports were featured at the 2018 Asian Games as a demonstration sport, thus medals won in the event weren't counted in the official overall medal tally.[6] With the 2022 Asian Games, a total of 7 medal event in esports were featured along with 2 demonstration events focused in robotics and VR, all of them within the mind sports category.[7][8]

AliSports, the sports arm of Chinese multinational technology company, Alibaba Group, partnered with the Olympic Council of Asia to bring esports to the Asian Games.[9]

In March 2023, the Olympic Council of Asia approved a decision to remove Hearthstone from the announced list of events due to the closure of Blizzard service in mainland China.[10]
