If Plants vs. Zombies 3 is not available in the country where you live, then the steps given above won't work. It will show an error, "This app is currently not available in your country or region." However, there are other ways of installing the game.

You can use Virtual Private Network (VPN) services to spoof Play Store/App Store into thinking you live in an officially supported region. This will allow you to download the game without any issues.

Here's how you can use VPN to download and play Plants vs. Zombies 3:

• Download a VPN app on your phone. Many VPN services require a paid subscription for full access.
• Connect the VPN to a country listed in the officially supported region.
• Create a new Google/Apple account.
• Sign in to your phone with the new account you just created.
• Next, follow the steps provided above and the game will download without any errors.
• Launch the game once before disconnecting from the VPN.

Note: Remember to keep the VPN app running in the background throughout the process.

Once the process is over, you can play Plants vs. Zombies 3 without requiring a VPN connection. The VPN service can cause internet issues and is not the official way of installing or playing the game. However, it's the best way of downloading Plants vs. Zombies 3 before it fully launches.
