Assessing the differing BR experiences in PUBG Mobile and PUBG New State

1) Year of action

PUBG Mobile is the first major BR title in the mobile gaming segment. The title focuses upon basic gameplay without indicating the specific year in which it is set.

2) Maps

PUBG Mobile started off with Erangel and gradually rolled out other maps such as Miramar, Vikendi, and Sanhok, to name a few. Although new arenas were introduced, there were no significant changes to the gameplay.

PUBG New State offers a brand new map called Troi. This arena and its locations are pretty futuristic and certainly have excited players. Everyone is eager to explore the region as soon as possible.
