PUBG Mobile offline

Tencent has announced that PUBG Mobile will be down from April 16, 12 am UTC (April 15, 5pm PDT) to April 16, 8 am UTC (1am PDT). The lengthy maintenance period is required to update the game to its latest version.

This should mean it will be available to play again anytime around 8 am UTC. However, the announcement tweet states the new version will be available to play April 17. Consequently, it sounds like the maintenance period is to get the app ready so the update can be implemented on the server side.

Reaction

PUBG Mobile has been extremely well supported since its release. Updates have been frequent and Vikendi, the PUBG snow map, has even been added.

Players using external controllers aside, the game generally runs very well. However, lag has plagued the mobile version of PUBG and players are seemingly tired of it.

The new updates will be appreciated in some quarters but others want the core game to run well firstly. One Twitter user said: “Don’t give us new things.. Just fix the lag goddammit.”

Another took a shot at PUBG by saying they are waiting for Call of Duty to release a mobile game.

The overwhelming response though, was regarding the lag. Another comment took a more tactful approach, stating: “Just fix the lag issue want nothing more than that.”

There has been no mention from Tencent or PUBG about potential bug fixes in the 0.12.0 update for PUBG mobile.
