4.     Enjoy PlayerUnknown Battlegrounds on mobile!

The problem comes for those who are not in the United States or Canada. Of course, there is a way around this.

Option One: Change Your Apple/Google Account Location

For Apple users, the process is quite lengthy. You must create a new account in iCloud and use an email address that you have access to. Then, go to the App Store once the account is created and, when prompted to complete your Apple ID, choose 'United States' as your location. Skip the section of adding a payment method and input an address. Go back to the App Store and search for PUBG Mobile by Tencent Games. Finally, download and enjoy! Be sure to backup your data before logging out.

For Android users, it is very simple to create a profile and change locations in Google Payments Center. You'll need an address as well, which is pretty simple to get. Once the address is verified, you can download the app from the Play Store.

Option Two: Alternative Methods

Particularly for Android users, they have the option to download the .apk or .obb game files and manually install them, by bypassing going to the Play Store. Of course, this carries a risk of opening your device to potentially harmful files, but it is up to you to take this route or not.

There is also a chance that your friend could have the files needed or an app-sharing app on their device. It is way easier than creating a new account.

Option Three: Wait

If the options above are not to your liking, all you can do is wait for the app to release within your region. You will miss out on events and any PUBG items they might give out, but it may be worth the wait. Whatever method you decide to use to download and play PUBG Mobile, we hope you enjoy it!
