What are the servers in PUBG Mobile?

When the game was first launched, players could select their server and region before every new match. Tencent has now removed this feature, however, as many players were constantly changing their servers. As a result, the quality of gameplay for the other players was being spoilt due to high ping.

Depending on where you are located in the world, there are six different servers available for PUBG Mobile. Below is the list of all the servers worldwide:

Europe
Asia
Middle East
North America
South America
Korea Republic / Japan (also known as KRJP in PUBG Mobile)

One must note that in India and China, PUBG Mobile is available as separate games called Battlegrounds Mobile India and Peacekeeper Elite, respectively, with distinct local servers.
