'Just over a few days ago, PUBG mobile, on its official website, announced that it had improved servers in Pakistan. That, in fact, has happened,' he said. 'Why did PUBG makers do it? Well, they must've noticed that there are serious players in the country.'

Rarely do I come across a Pakistani player while playing Fortnite. But when I play PUBG, every time, I come across a Pakistani player. All my friends are online 24/7.
