PUBG Server Maintenance
PUBG: Battlegrounds console servers are currently under maintenance as part of the Update 38.1 rollout. According to the official statement from PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Support, the live servers went into maintenance at 1:00 AM UTC (10:00 AM KST) on October 23, 2025, and the downtime is expected to last about 8 hours.
During this maintenance period, players on console platforms (PlayStation and Xbox) will be unable to access the game’s online services, matchmaking, or custom modes. This is a scheduled and planned downtime to implement the new 38.1 update across all regions.
Why is PUBG Not Working?
If you are unable to play PUBG right now, the reason is scheduled server maintenance for the 38.1 update.
This update brings several major additions and gameplay improvements, such as:
- Destructible terrain added to Miramar, allowing explosions to alter the landscape.
- Weapon balance changes, particularly nerfs to SMGs and adjustments to the Panzerfaust.
- Vehicle reworks improving handling and reducing passenger vulnerability.
- A special PUBG x Skibidi Toilet collaboration mode, featuring a Halloween-themed PvE survival event.
- A new Survivor Pass and ranked season reset with fresh rewards.
So, while the servers are temporarily unavailable, this downtime is essential for integrating the new content and ensuring stability after the patch.
When Will PUBG Servers Be Back Up?
The live server maintenance began at 1:00 AM UTC (6:30 AM IST) on October 23, 2025, and is expected to last around 8 hours.
If there are no delays, servers should be back online by approximately 9:00 AM UTC (2:30 PM IST). Players can then enjoy the new seasonal update once the maintenance concludes.
PUBG Support will post a confirmation tweet once the maintenance is complete and servers are live again, so it’s best to check the official @PUBG_Support handle for the latest status updates.
