In the world of online gaming, especially in a fast-paced game like PUBG Mobile, a stable connection is everything. Your ping, which is the time it takes for your device to communicate with the game server, can be the difference between winning a chicken dinner and getting knocked out early. A high ping means lag, and lag can be super frustrating when you're in the middle of a firefight.

So, how do you check your ping in PUBG Mobile? You can see your ping in real-time during a match. It's displayed at the bottom left of your screen, shown in milliseconds (ms). A good ping is usually below 100ms.

I remember this one time I was in the final circle, just me and one other player left. I had the perfect shot lined up, but right when I pressed the fire button, my game froze for a second. My ping had spiked to over 300ms! By the time it went back to normal, I was already knocked out. It was so frustrating, and it taught me to always check my connection before starting a serious match.

How to Check and Understand Your Ping

Keeping an eye on your ping is easy. Here’s a simple breakdown of what to look for and what it means for your game.

• Look at the bottom-left corner: While you are in a match, you will see a small number followed by "ms". That's your ping.
• Green means go: If your ping is green (usually 20-80ms), your connection is great. You shouldn't experience any lag.
• Yellow is a warning: A yellow ping (around 80-150ms) means your connection is okay, but not perfect. You might see some small delays.
• Red is bad news: If your ping is red (anything above 150ms), you're likely to experience significant lag. This can make the game unplayable.

Another time, my friends and I were playing squads, and one of my friends kept complaining about lag. We checked his ping, and it was consistently over 200ms. It turned out he was accidentally connected to a server on a different continent! We helped him learn how to change servers in PUBG Mobile, and his ping instantly dropped to a much better level. It completely changed his gaming experience for the better.

If you notice your ping is always high, there are a few things you can try. Make sure you are connected to a strong Wi-Fi signal, close any other apps running in the background, and select the server closest to your physical location. A good internet connection is key to a low ping and a smooth gaming experience in PUBG Mobile.
