According to the Dev Log, the restrictions would come into the picture from Season 16. The video further stated:

“The developers have also been gathering players’ feedback from surveys. In conclusion, we have decided to restrict the ability to switch servers at will starting in PUBG Mobile Season 16. When the season starts, the players will need to choose and confirm the server they wish to play on for the season.”

The video also added that once players confirm the server, they cannot change it again for 60 days. In case users do not verify the selection, they will play in the region selected from the previous season.

The Dev Log added:

“If a player chooses a different server mid-season, then the tier data will be switched to the new server data.”

After this restriction is in place, if players from different servers team-up, the match will be played on the server/region of the group/team leader. In this situation, the points, tiers, and leaderboard ranking will be earned in the selected server and not in any other region.

According to the developers, this limitation will have its advantage in improved server latency and a stable regional gaming environment.
