The recently announced title, PUBG: New State, has completed a whopping 10 million pre-registrations on the Google Play Store. It achieved this milestone 43 days after the opening of the pre-registration.

According to an official blog post by Krafton, over 170 countries around the world participated in the advance pre-registration. Southeast Asia (22.6%) had the highest share, followed by America (19.3%), the Middle East (15.1%), Europe (15%), and East Asia (13.2%).

Krafton also said that PUBG: New State-related videos had reached a total of 60 million views.

Officials on Twitter today also announced that they would be starting the alpha testing in the second quarter of 2021.

With this amount of interest in the new title, it would be intriguing to see the fans' response once the game releases globally. It'll also be interesting to see when it releases in big markets like China and India.
