PUBG Mobile Korea is one of the versions which Krafton publishes for users in Korea and Japan. However, this version is also popular among players worldwide due to the wide availability of cosmetic items and crates.

But in a shocking turn of events, PUBG Mobile Korea announced that they would be restricting the game’s functionality for users outside Korea and Japan. These changes will be implemented over the next few weeks.
