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.

  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. 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.
