According to Krafton, Android users will need to have at least 2GB RAM and Android 6.0 or more whereas iOS users will need a minimum of iOS 13.0 or higher along with iPhone6S or later. Now the biggest question in everyone’s mind is whether PUBG New State will have to face a ban again? The question is pertinent as PUBG Mobile was banned in India back in September 2020 following which Krafton worked on an India-Specific version of the game for months. The game was renamed Battlegrounds Mobile India and made available for android users in July 2021 and iOS users in August 2021. This could be the reason that while the announcement of PUBG New State was made in February, but it was not expected to be launched in India at all. Krafton in a press statement has said that it is bringing New State to India after seeing the interest of Indian fans. “Knowing that PUBG IP from Krafton is enjoying countrywide popularity in India and our Indian fans have high interest in the launch of PUBG New State in India, we at PUBG Studios are doing our best to offer a battle royale experience only we can deliver based on the stable service for our Indian fans,” Krafton said.

Though any confirmed date for PUBG New State to launch in India is not out yet, Google Play Store expects it to be 8 October 2021. More details about its launch are still awaited.
