PUBG New State Mobile was announced in February 2021, whereas Krafton Inc. revealed news about Battlegrounds Mobile India in early May.

PUBG Mobile fans took to their social media accounts to express their excitement following the back-to-back announcements from the South Korean company. However, several gamers also expressed doubts regarding the same.

Gamers have been wondering what significant differences there are between the two, which this article will discuss.


PUBG New State Mobile: Comparison with Battlegrounds Mobile India

1) Region of accessibility

First and foremost, the difference between PUBG New State Mobile and Battlegrounds Mobile India lies in their availability.

Krafton Inc. revealed that PUBG New State Mobile would be available globally, with China, India, and Vietnam being the exceptions.

Battlegrounds Mobile India, on the other hand, is exclusively developed for the Indian gaming community.

The government of India banned PUBG Mobile back in September 2020. Hence, Krafton is releasing Battlegrounds Mobile India to mark the comeback of the popular BR title to the country.

3) Theme

PUBG New State Mobile is set in the year 2051 and will feature exclusive futuristic weapons and vehicles. Gamers also got a significant teaser regarding gameplay and futuristic components such as drones were also spotted.

Battlegrounds Mobile India is not set in the future. The game will feature a similar weapon system as the PUBG Mobile global version. Vehicles also won't be getting any futuristic changes.


4) System requirements

Krafton recently revealed the system requirements for both upcoming games. It was anticipated that due to the enhanced graphical components, PUBG New State Mobile would require better system configuration. This was confirmed when the developers revealed that gamers would need Android v6.0 and upwards and 2.5 GB of RAM to run PUBG New State Mobile seamlessly.

The popularity of PUBG Mobile was because it was accessible for low-end budget smartphones. Gamers belonging to various economic sections could be a part of the PUBG Mobile experience without spending a fortune.
