What company published New State Mobile?

Krafton published New State Mobile.

The game was developed by PUBG Studios, an internal Krafton division, and published by Krafton as part of the PUBG universe. This makes it distinct from the original PUBG Mobile publishing arrangement, which is often associated with Tencent Games in many markets.

Krafton announced the project in February 2021 under the name PUBG: New State. The company positioned it as a separate mobile game rather than simply an update to PUBG Mobile, with a futuristic setting, new vehicles, drones, deployable shields, and other gameplay systems.

The publisher relationship can be confusing because several companies have handled PUBG-related releases. Tencent’s Lightspeed division developed the mobile version of PUBG: Battlegrounds, while Microsoft Studios published the Xbox One edition and Kakao Games handled distribution in South Korea. Those names belong to other versions or markets, not New State Mobile’s primary publisher.
