Development

In February 2021, PUBG Studios, an internal division of Krafton (the company that publishes the game) announced the development of a game codenamed "''PUBG: New State''", a separate entity to '' PUBG: Battlegrounds'' and its mobile version, set in the near-future (year 2051) as a part of the ''PUBG'' universe. In July 2021, Krafton reported that the game surpassed 20 million pre-registrations on Google Play alone. On 28 August the alpha testing concluded after running in 28 countries, and the developers implemented improvements and fixes based on feedback from participating users. In September 2021, after pre-registration opened for iOS, the game surpassed more than 50 million pre-registrations combined on both Google Play and the App Store. On January 27, 2022, a name change was announced, from "''PUBG: New State''" to "''New State Mobile''". The change was subsequently made effective on all platforms.
