How to see your ping in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS

KRAFTON does not document this.

How to change server in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS

KRAFTON support describes region choice in two places. A custom match has its own server region setting, which starts on the player's current region and can be changed. For matchmaking, a 2018 support post announced a plan to offer a switch to another region when no match turns up within a set time; KRAFTON has not confirmed how this works today.

Where the PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS servers are

KRAFTON names PUBG regions but not the cities or data centers behind them. Since October 2024, Oceania players share the SEA region and the former Korea/Japan region is part of AS on PC. North and South America were merged in October 2024 and split again with Update 33.1 after ping in South America rose. Console uses its own region set. KRAFTON posts server status on its PUBG_Support account on X, not on a status page.

The labels are as named in KRAFTON's news posts, not read from the game client. Source: Map Service Report - Update 43.2.

Where KRAFTON gives no city, the table says not published. An area folded onto a test point never borrows that test point's city.

What KRAFTON says about ping

KRAFTON publishes no millisecond threshold. Its connectivity guide recommends a wired connection, because Wi-Fi is more prone to interference that raises ping and packet loss, and suggests turning off VPNs and other networking software.

Our test reads its own bands next to that: Excellent under 40 ms, Good 40 to under 80 ms, Playable 80 to under 130 ms, Poor 130 ms and above. These are our lines, not KRAFTON's.

What our test reads for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS

  • The result reads PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS' own 5 measured areas. Pick the region you play on, or the test takes the best one by steadiness, then by time.
  • RU has no test point yet, so the test cannot read it.
  • The North America Central test point is in Ohio. KRAFTON gives no city for NA.
