PUBG Mobile hasn't clarified on whether this is a new feature being tested or if it will roll out to all users. Not every PUBG Mobile user has received this health reminder as yet. This health reminder comes at a time when PUBG Mobile is facing bans in some Indian cities. Authorities have even arrested some people for playing PUBG Mobile despite the ban.

It is expected that PUBG Mobile could be experimenting a time limit feature for the ongoing ban demands in India. The company did say it is working on figuring out a way to find "a reasonable solution" on this.
