Your PUBG Battlegrounds game may be disconnected from the servers for a variety of reasons. It could be a problem with your internet connection, server issues, or even a problem with your computer. You’ll need to go through a series of troubleshooting procedures for fixing connection issues.
PUBG is a multiplayer online battle royale genre game in which you play in one-on-one, duo-on-duo, or squad-on-squad matches. You arrive on the map alongside 100 other players in strategic areas to scavenge for loot and weaponry and survive the game to become the last man or last team standing on one of the many PUBG maps available. Over time, the game’s safe area shrinks, allowing remaining players to enter smaller safe regions to drive them into a battle. The last player or team remaining wins the match.
