PUBG New State: Technical differences with BGMI revealed

Download size

The first major difference that needs to be considered is in the download size of the two titles.

BGMI is the regional version of PUBG Mobile that is exclusively available for the Indian gaming community. Gamers who wish to download BGMI from the Google Play Store will need to have around 750 MB of free space on their devices. After downloading, the game will ask them to opt for their preferred resource packs.

The resource packs come in 400 MB and 650 MB variants depending on the graphical quality. So, BGMI occupies somewhere between 1.2 GB to 1.5 GB of disk space.

PUBG New State, on the other hand, is available for download from the Google Play Store. The app store details the file size of the game to be around 1.5 GB.

Since gamers might have to download other resources during the course of play, they can expect the title to take up even more storage space. With that in mind, it's advisable to account for a bit of extra space outside the minimum requirements.
