Krafton's latest battle royale sensation, PUBG: New State, has surpassed 40 million downloads worldwide. Yet, despite this major achievement, the game faces significant player backlash, reflected in its persistently low ratings on the Google Play Store and App Store.
Anticipation for PUBG: New State built rapidly before its November 11 global launch, fueled by developer teasers and snapshots. However, the release was marred by unexpected glitches and bugs from a studio known for polished titles. While the player base grows steadily, average ratings hover below 4 stars—a surprising trend for such a hyped title.

Krafton is toasting PUBG: New State's download success, crossing the 40 million mark in under a month. Developers are addressing bugs while downloads climb daily. To mark the occasion, they've rolled out a 7-day login event.

Pre-registration ratings neared 5 stars, but now it's 3.8 on Google Play and 3.1 on the App Store. Common complaints include rampant bugs, high latency, unreliable gyroscope controls, audio glitches (like inaudible footsteps), and jerky performance at 120 FPS.

Developers issued an apology, urging patience, and recent maintenance has brought some improvements.
