PUBG Mobile is one of the best battle royale games and has a community all over the world. Its Classic Deathmatch is pretty popular among mobile gamers which even beats Fortnite’s 100-player battle royale mode. That said, the game is not available in some regions, and because of that, many avid gamers are left on the lurch. So in this guide, we bring you a simple guide on how to play PUBG Mobile in restricted regions. If you are facing “Error code:restrict-area” while launching PUBG Mobile then this guide will help you avoid the issue. On that note, let’s go ahead and find out how to play PUBG Mobile in regions where the game is unavailable.
Note: We are demonstrating this method for information purposes. We do not encourage players to use this method to play PUBG in a country where it has been specifically banned by the government.
Play PUBG Mobile in Restricted Regions
1. To play PUBG Mobile in restricted regions, you need to download a VPN for your Android or iOS device. I would recommend ProtonVPN as it offers servers from three major regions free of charge.
2. Now, connect the VPN to the US server. You can also connect to the Japan server, but I got a reasonably decent ping while connected to a US server.
3. Once you are connected to the VPN, open PUBG Mobile as you normally do. Next, tap on “Select Mode” located at the bottom-left corner.
4. Here, click on the server located at the top-right corner and choose your choice of server.
5. Finally, tap on “Start” and you will be off to the gameplay without any error. In my testing, I was getting around 300-600ms of ping which sure is not great, but definitely playable.
Run PUBG Mobile in Restricted Regions
So that is how you can play PUBG Mobile in restricted regions without facing errors such as “Error code:restrict-area”. Indeed, the gameplay is not as smooth as you would expect, but as I said above it’s more than playable. Opting for a paid VPN plan would also improve the ping in PUBG and the overall gameplay. Anyway, that is all from us. If you are facing any issue then comment down below and let us know.

Report it to Goverment. Beebom
It’s a pretty useless way to play the game. Just download the Korean PUBG from Taptap and play it. 600ms are you kidding me ?
Pls help me. My internet is so slow. I am in India and i get this error. I liked your method but i had like 120 ms when this problem was not available because of my bad internet connection. After using this VPN, i get like 800-968 ms ping. Pls recommend me a better vpn which wouldnt increase my ping. Pls. ( I am OK with paid VPN’s as i will install it freely from chrome by coding….)
Pls help. Pls help. Pls…….
Use Panda VPN you can get premium server with ping in pubg around 120-200 ms for 1hr just for watching a quick 30 sec ad
The only thing why I hate beebom..
Even though the gane is banned you are promoting it and giving illegal ways to play it. Find another good ways to earn money.
