Best answer: There’s no word on controller support yet, but because PUBG Mobile doesn’t natively support controllers, it’s safe to bet that PUBG: New State will do the same.

A brand new mobile-exclusive

PlayerUnknown’s BattleGrounds, or PUBG, is one of the first major battle royale titles to hit the scene, ushering in a new genre of multiplayer game. The popularity of PUBG is massive, especially on Android, and Tencent plans to deliver a bigger and better experience with PUBG: New State, a brand new, mobile-exclusive game set in the PUBG universe. As the first true successor to the original PUBG, players can expect updated visuals, dynamic gunplay, and new unique mechanics such as dodging, drone calls, and support requests.

But one change on everyone’s mind is whether or not PUBG: New State will feature controller support? With native controller support and tons of great game controllers for Android, this should be a sure thing, right? Unfortunately, the jury is still out on t…

Best answer: PUBG: New State’s first alpha test ended on June 14. We don’t know when the next one will take place, but the developers have promised multiple alpha tests leading up to the game’s release.

Try before you die

PUBG: New State is the true sequel to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, the first major battle royale game. While PUBG Mobile remains one of the most popular Android games available, PUBG: New State plans on improving the game in every regard, from its upgraded graphics engine to new mechanics introduced, including dodges, drone calls, and support requests.

In order to ensure that the developers meet the fan’s expectations, a limited alpha took place, giving players a hands-on look at the new map, Troi 2051. But for those who missed it, one question remains on their mind — when is the next alpha? Well, the answer we just don’t know yet.

PUBG: New State’s next alpha is coming… eventually
