PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS: squads and custom matches

PUBG has no community servers. You squad up through friends, and HTG events use custom matches.

Platforms

• PC players (Steam and Kakao) play with each other.
• PS5 and Xbox players can play with each other.
• PC and console cannot squad together. When you post in the squad finder, say which you're on.

Squadding up

1. Post in #pubg-squad-finder: duo or squad of 4, mode, region and platform. Ping @PUBG Squad for takers now.
2. Add each other as friends by in-game name.
3. The squad leader invites from the lobby. Meet in Drop Zone voice.

Custom match events

• Creating a custom match needs BATTLEGROUNDS PLUS on the host's account. Joining one doesn't. HTG events are hosted by members with PLUS.
• Events are announced in #pubg-custom-matches and #events. Signed-up members get the lobby name and password; find the lobby in the custom match browser.
• Results are posted in #pubg-results.

Fair play

No cheats, macros, or tools that read game memory or change the UI. KRAFTON bans for them, and so do we.
