A lot of players notice ping spikes when they're playing PUBG Mobile, especially in some areas.
There are a few usual reasons for ping spikes. A big reason for this is how far away the server is. If you're gaming on a server that's really far away from where you are, it can make your ping a lot higher. Your internet service provider might be having some problems or there could be too much traffic on the network, which can mess with your connection. Your device might be causing some issues too. If it's older or not very powerful, it could have a hard time keeping a steady connection during those intense moments in PUBG Mobile.
If you want to cut down on or fix those annoying ping spikes, here are some things you can give a shot. To start, picking a server that's nearer to you is usually the best way to reduce ping. Improving your network by making sure you have a solid and reliable connection can really make a difference. Shutting down background apps that use up your internet, switching to a wired connection for better performance, and turning down graphics settings to ease the load on your device are all smart moves. Sometimes, using a VPN can help boost your connection but keep in mind it might also slow things down a bit.
