PUBG mobile update: servers must be disconnected for several hours

The mobile players of PUBG are greeted by a "maintenance notice", informing them of a prolonged stoppage of nearly 8 hours.The pop-up notification says PUBG mobile will be "disconnected for maintenance from 00:00:00 to 08:00:00 (UTC) on July 23, 2018."

During this time off, players will not be able to play PUBG on their smartphones, but the notification indicates that the service could be resumed sooner or later depending on the progress of maintenance, but it is more likely to be resumed within 8 hours

PUBG Developer, Tencent Games, n & # 39; has not revealed the exact reason for the maintenance, but the last time that a similar shutdown time has occurred, it was to add the content of the season 2. Tencent has done more than make up for the downtime by adding a series of new items to the players, like the Miramar Desert Map, the new vehicles and the cannons.

Mobile PUBG has also been updated with the support of the snipers. Fashion, new production avatars, new profile options and reach scales. What remains to be solved is still a mystery for the moment, but we can expect something exciting.

While Tencent is experiencing the success of PUBG's mobile debut, the free shoot-out game for 100 people has caught a major controversy for the inclusion of a package containing a mask pilot with a decoration resembling the badge "Rising Sun" of the Imperial Japanese Army. PUBG is excused for its reference to the Japanese military regime during the Second World War and issued refunds to those who bought the items.

"We apologize for causing concern over a pilot mask object" chain, The Korea Times reported. "We will conduct an overall review of our image production process to avoid such recurrence."

PUBG debuted on the mobile platform in March and has since been one of the most popular mobile games. The free game, which has in-app purchases, is more popular on Android than its iOS counterpart. PUBG is closely rivals the growing popularity of the Fortnite Royal Battle Game on iOS.

Is the last shutdown time of nearly 8 hours an attempt to improve the game on Android and iOS? We will know soon enough. Stay tuned for updates.
