Late last month, Krafton announced that it has changed the name of PUBG: New State to New State Mobile.

In a post, Krafton announced that New State Mobile will be down for maintenance on February 10 from 12am (midnight) to 6am UTC (5:30am to 11:30am IST). Once the game goes down for maintenance, players will not be able to access the game. When it is updated, players will have to manually update the game on Android and iOS to regain access to the game.

To clear the cache on Google Play store, head to Settings > Application > Google Play Store > Storage > Delete Cache. Similarly, for Galaxy Store head to Settings > Application > Galaxy Store > Storage > Delete Cache. However, there is no method mentioned to clear the cache on iOS.
