Who All Will This Barricade On PUBG Mobile Global Apply To?
Users who are not in Korea or Japan will be unable to play the Korean version of the game beginning May 1. If they can log in in some way, they may experience network issues. The modifications will go into effect for Indian users on June 30, according to the article.
The restriction implies that the business may have seen an unexpected increase in traffic to the game’s Korean version after the Indian government banned it late last year.
According to social media posts and other reports, many Indian gamers have resorted to utilizing virtual private networks (VPNs) to access other PUBG Mobile servers since the ban. Because the Korean version is one of the most popular, it would have been one of the most favored versions of PUBG Mobile for many players.
It is worth noting, however, that the firm has not specified how it would enforce this restriction. According to the Instagram post, those who have accessed the PUBG Mobile KR version of the game via installing APKs of the program would have difficulty playing the game. It says little about VPN users.
Of course, Krafton may not have to do anything about VPN users in the first place, because, unlike streaming services, multiplayer games cannot be played through VPNs. VPN networks route a signal across many servers to conceal the original user’s location. However, this impacts the pace at which the data flow, increasing latency, which may be a game-changer when playing competitively.
