PUBG Mobile has witnessed tremendous growth over the years and has managed to gather a huge audience on the mobile platform.
Part of this can be attributed to regular and periodic updates offered by the game's developers.
These updates not only introduce new features in PUBG Mobile , but also bring various improvements that make the game interesting.
PUBG Mobile 1.1 update hit global servers a few days ago and brought several exciting in-game features like Metro Royale mode, themed gameplay, gameplay improvements and more.
One of the main changes with the 1.1 update was the restriction to change the game's server on demand.
The "Developer Diary" was published a few days ago and explains the intricacies of the change. As mentioned in the patch notes, with the start of Season 16, restrictions on switching servers have been implemented.
Players will no longer be able to do this for 60 days after changing their servers. In this article, we'll take a look at a few of the reasons why this change was made in PUBG Mobile .

Server latency plays a very important role when it comes to any type of online game.
Having a high ping in PUBG Mobile can cause lag, spoiling the overall gaming experience. Restrictions on switching servers will reduce the latency issue as developers can optimize the network environment for each region.

Previously, a few PUBG Mobile players were changing servers quite frequently, which hindered matchmaking because sometimes users of a particular region would face players with much higher skill levels.
This also significantly impacted a region's leaderboard. This restriction will ensure the fairness of the game in a particular region.
Enforcement of this restriction will allow users to match and team up with other players in the same region.
However, the restriction on being able to change the server at any time does not mean that players cannot team up with friends on other servers.
Let's say players from different regions will team up and then play on the team leader's server and all points, ranks and leaderboards will be earned and displayed in the selected server regions. Players can also browse the full Development Log below:
