Last month, the Indian government banned PUBG Mobile along with 117 other Chinese apps. This step was taken due to national security concerns and misuse of user data. Currently, all the servers of PUBG are down, when you start the game you will get an error message:
“The server is busy. Please try again later. Error code: “restricted area”
Even after the ban, players were able to play the game because the game servers were not removed. The game was only been removed from the official app stores. Just a day earlier, PUBG Corporation posted a message on Facebook reporting the servers in India. They announced that all services and servers in India will be shut down as of October 30 in India.
You will now be seeing a message saying “Server is busy, please try again later“.
Now let’s see how you can fix this error. I’m sure all PUBG fans are looking for a solution to fix this problem. So here are some ways to fix this error.

How to fix “The server is busy, please try again later” in PUBG Mobile?
Officially, there is no solution to restore this game as its servers are officially closed in the Indian region. If you still want to play PUBG mobile then you need to use a VPN (a virtual private network).
A VPN is used to securely access the internet without revealing your location. VPN allows you to change the region and use certain apps that are prohibited in your country.
So you can use a VPN to change your IP address to some other country where PUBG Mobile is not banned.
Best VPN to fix “Server is busy” Error in PUBG
You can use any VPN of your choice but I recommend using Hola VPN as it’s fast and secure.
- First, download Hola VPN from the official app store on your device.
- Once the application is installed, look for PUBG Mobile in the App list.
- Now tap on the PUBG Mobile icon and select the country to change your location. I recommend using the default settings, as it’s the fastest available server.
- Click on the start button and you will be automatically connected to the server in this country.
- Thats it, now you can play PUBG Mobile in India.
Note – You might face ping issues as we are using a VPN to play the game. To avoid ping issues you can use a premium VPN.
