Like any online game, PUBG Lite occasionally experiences problems. Sometimes servers go down, or sometimes patches introduce bugs. Other times you get a warning that PUBG Lite is unavailable in your region. What’s worse, this message tends to appear when the game had been working fine previously. If PUBG Lite it saying it is unavailable in your region, here are a few ideas on what you can do to fix the problem.
PUBG Lite | It is unavailable in your region fix
If PUBG Lite says “it is unavailable in your region,” it’s because the game sees a problem with your current time and location. Thankfully, this problem is easy to fix: All you need to do is adjust your computer’s time zone.

This error message seems to appear when the game finds a discrepancy between your computer’s given location or time zone and the one expected by servers. As such, the simplest solution is to set a time zone based on your current location. Here’s how the process works.
- First, click the Windows start button and type in “Change the time zone”
- In the Date & time settings window, toggle the following options to on:
- Set time automatically
- Set time zone automatically
- Adjust for daylight saving time automatically
- Finally, double-check that your Time zone setting is accurate
It’s worth noting that these fixes will not work if you’re running PUBG Lite through a VPN. Virtual private networks will set your location to something other than where you are, which is why the game may find a discrepancy. However, some users report success using a VPN when the PUBG Lite unavailable in your region error occurs. Others report success using a time zone other than the one where they reside. As is so often the case, your mileage may vary.
When PUBG Lite says it’s unavailable in your region — and assuming the game worked fine before — you simply need to double-check your Windows time zone setting. This error seems to occur most around when daylight saving time begins or ends, so it’s worth making sure the daylight saving time toggles are set to on.
