PUBG New State currently has two maps, namely Troi and Erangel. The former was an all-new futuristic addition, while the latter was a post-apocalyptic version of Erangel. Both the maps are 8x8 in dimensions, while the latest one will be 4x4 KM, which is exactly half the size of these two, as well as PUBG Mobile's Miramar.

With the inclusion of the desert map, the diversity in PUBG New State esports will also increase, allowing players to compete against the very best.

Although the esports scene for the title has not officially started, several regional third-party events are taking place worldwide. Tournaments in India have increased since the blockage of Krafton's battle royale title, BGMI.

Recently, ESL and Nodwin Gaming organized a ₹1 crore LAN event titled PUBG New State Pro Series, which received a great response from fans. Team XO, who took the crown, was awarded a cash prize of ₹21 lakhs ($25K).
