PUBG PC is facing major changes in Vietnam after a wave of controversy. Several official PUBG channels have disappeared. At the same time, the PUBG Vietnam Series 2026 has been suspended with no return date.
The changes came soon after Krafton gave permanent bans to Vietnamese players Himass and Tan Vuu. The decision caused a strong reaction from the local PUBG community. Many players and creators have criticized the decision. Some have also stopped playing or making PUBG PC content.
However, Krafton has not confirmed that PUBG PC will leave Vietnam. For now, the game’s future in the country remains unclear.

PUBG’s Official Vietnam Channels Disappear
On September 24, Vietnamese players noticed a major change. The official PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Vietnam pages on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram could no longer be accessed. These pages were key sources of news for local players.
They shared game updates, events, and esports news. They also helped Krafton stay connected with the Vietnamese community. However, the local pages suddenly disappeared.
Before the Facebook page went offline, it posted a short notice. The notice said that future updates would move to the global PUBG.COM website.
As a result, Vietnamese players may now have to follow the global PUBG channels for new information. Still, this does not prove that PUBG PC has left Vietnam. Krafton has yet to make such an announcement.

PVS 2026 Is Suspended Without a New Date
The changes also affect PUBG esports in Vietnam. The PUBG Vietnam Series 2026 Stage 2 has been suspended. More importantly, there is no new date for the remaining matches. The remaining fixtures were also removed from the PUBG Esports schedule.
This is a major blow to the local scene. PVS is an important competition for Vietnamese PUBG teams. It gives players a chance to compete at a high level. It also helps teams reach bigger international events.
Therefore, an indefinite suspension could affect many people. Professional players could lose valuable match time. Teams could also face problems with training and planning. At the same time, tournament staff, sponsors, and content creators may also be affected.
So far, there has been no clear public reason for the suspension.

The Himass and Tan Vuu Controversy
The sudden changes came during a major PUBG controversy. The issue began after an incident at PUBG Asia Stars 2026 on September 17. Krafton later announced permanent competitive bans for two Vietnamese players. They were Lã Phương Tiến Đạt, known as Himass, and Trần Tấn Vũ, known as Tan Vuu. The decision quickly caused anger among Vietnamese PUBG fans.
Many players felt that the punishment was too harsh. Others questioned how the case was handled. The story soon spread across social media. Popular streamers and content creators also joined the discussion. Some shared their support for the two players. Others criticized Krafton’s decision.
As the controversy grew, the situation became much bigger than a single tournament.

Players Begin to Turn Away From PUBG
The reaction from Vietnamese players has been strong. Some streamers have stopped making PUBG PC videos. Some creators have also said that they will no longer support the game.
In addition, some players have reportedly removed PUBG from their PCs. This has created a difficult situation for Krafton. Vietnam has had a large PUBG community for years. The game also has a strong esports following in the country.
Therefore, losing support from local creators could hurt the game. Streamers and content creators play an important role in keeping a game active. They bring new players into the community. They also help promote events and tournaments.
If more creators leave, PUBG PC could lose part of its local audience.
Is PUBG PC Leaving Vietnam?
Despite all these changes, PUBG PC has not officially announced a full exit from Vietnam. This point is important. The disappearance of local social media pages does not mean that the game has stopped operating in the country.
The Vietnamese version of the PUBG.COM website is still available. Players can also access information through the global PUBG platform.
Therefore, Krafton may simply be changing how it runs PUBG in Vietnam. The company could be moving away from local channels. It could also be moving more communication to the global PUBG website.
However, there is not enough information to confirm this yet. Krafton has remained quiet about the situation.
What Happens to PUBG Esports in Vietnam?
The biggest question now concerns Vietnamese PUBG esports. If PVS 2026 remains suspended, local teams could face a serious problem. Players need regular tournaments to stay competitive. They also need local events to qualify for bigger competitions.
Without PVS, Vietnamese teams may have fewer chances to compete. The impact could also reach the wider esports industry. Tournament organizers could lose events. Sponsors could lose exposure. Streamers could lose content opportunities.
At the same time, fans could have fewer local matches to watch. For that reason, the future of PVS 2026 will be closely watched.

Krafton’s Silence Raises More Questions
Krafton’s lack of a clear statement has added to the uncertainty. The company has not confirmed a complete PUBG PC shutdown in Vietnam. It has also not explained why the local social media channels disappeared. Likewise, there is no clear reason for the indefinite PVS suspension.
Because of this, players are left to guess what comes next. Some believe Krafton is reducing its local operations. Others fear that the company could eventually leave the Vietnamese market.
For now, neither scenario has been confirmed. It is also important not to connect every recent change directly to the Himass and Tan Vuu bans. The timing is notable, but Krafton has not said that the two events are linked.
PUBG PC’s Future in Vietnam Is Unclear
PUBG PC is now facing one of its biggest challenges in Vietnam. Official local social media pages have disappeared. PVS 2026 has been suspended without a new date. Meanwhile, the community continues to debate the permanent bans of Himass and Tan Vuu.
However, PUBG PC has not confirmed that it is leaving Vietnam. The Vietnamese PUBG website remains active. Therefore, the game is still accessible to local players.
For now, the best description is a major change in PUBG’s Vietnamese ecosystem rather than a confirmed market exit.
Still, the situation could change quickly. Vietnamese players will be waiting for the next statement from Krafton and PUBG Esports. Until then, the future of PUBG PC in Vietnam remains uncertain.
