Back in the day, PUBG was an innovator, boosting the genre’s popularity tenfold in the gaming space and creating a worldwide phenomenon that so many developers continuously try to copy. In 2022, it went free-to-play on all platforms, and today, it’s steadily retaining its popularity with a core audience. That audience wants to play. But is PUBG down?
What is the PUBG Server Status? Is PUBG Down?
At the moment, it appears that PUBG is down for many, with their social media support team posting earlier today regarding an issue with the game’s servers. The problem, while minor overall, affected lobby access and matchmaking for quite a few players in the community, but not everyone, thankfully.
If you want to keep up-to-date on the game’s online status, I recommend following PUBG: Battlegrounds Support on X (formerly Twitter) for regular updates about the game. They post frequently, sometimes every 30 minutes, to provide the community with constant communication and game updates.

When Does PUBG Perform Server Maintenance?
Unfortunately, there is no set time or date for when PUBG server maintenance takes place. However, they do take steps to alert everyone in the community on social media and, occasionally, via announcements in the game’s menu.
Overall, server maintenance for PUBG doesn’t last long. It takes a handful of hours, with some of the more complex or pressing issues requiring half a day to finish. Developer Krafton hopes to reduce disruption and ensure everyone can enjoy the battle royale at any time!
