Notably, the pre-registration figures on Android do not include China and Vietnam. The battle royale game has completed its second alpha test in 28 countries last month, as per Krafton. As mentioned, the game's official release date will be announced in October and is slated to be released as a free-to-play game later this year for Android and iOS.

PUBG: New State is currently available for pre-registrations on App Store and Google Play. The battle royale game was first announced in February and players who pre-register for the game would get some additional benefits. Krafton also shared a trailer that showcased the gameplay and the mechanics of the upcoming game.

The delay in opening pre-registration for PUBG: New State came as the developers were focussing on re-launching the banned PUBG Mobile in India as Battlegrounds Mobile India.
