When it comes to mobile games, battle royale was the big genre in 2020. It hasn't been as big of a topic this year, but plenty of people still play it. And with PUBG: New State, the sequel to PUBG Mobile, old fans of the game will surely be interested to come back.

PUBG: New State was officially released yesterday and is now on Android and iOS. Set in the year 2051, the sequel has better graphics, improved textures, and smoother frame rates. It features destructible environments, a new drone store, a recruitment system, a new transportation system, and more.

However, the game's launch has not been entirely smooth sailing. On launch day, many players were unable to connect to the game. Some also found that the game would constantly crash, though the devs have already released a patch for that. But the biggest problem was that the game could brick devices running the new Android 12. If you upgraded your device to Android 12, you might want to avoid playing the game for now.

For those who manage to try the game, what's your impression of it so far? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for other news like this.
