If you’ve checked out the new PUBG: New State mobile game, you might’ve noticed the performance issues holding it back. Currently, the game is enjoying its second alpha test in 28 countries across the world, but all are reporting issues on iOS devices. It’s all the usual problems you’d expect from a high-intensity mobile game: your device overheating, racing through battery, and stuttering during gameplay. Fear not, as we’ve got tips on how you can fix the performance problems in PUBG: New State.
How to fix PUBG: New State iOS overheating, stuttering, battery consumption (2021)
To first the PUBG: New State iOS overheating, stuttering, battery consumption issues, we recommend fully closing all other apps running on your iOS device. This will reduce the amount of multitasking processing your device is doing, which should smoothen performance a bit.
Next, you’ll want to make sure you’re running the latest system software, and that the PUBG: New State app is fully updated. These are minor tweaks but will help ensure your device is running as best as it can.
Other than that, you’ll sadly have to just wait until the game fully launches, where these issues should be ironed out. It’s annoying, but it’s the exact reason games go through alpha testing.
As PUBG: New State is a brand-new release, these issues aren’t a surprise. The good news is the developers have promised a future update to resolve these problems.
📢 There are issues on the iOS version where some devices may experience overheating, screen stuttering, or fast battery consumption.
We are currently optimizing the game, and a fix will be implemented at launch.
Thank you for your continued patience while we work on this issue.— NEW STATE MOBILE (@NEWSTATEMOBILE) August 27, 2021
As you can see from the tweet, this isn’t an update that’s going to solve these issues during the ongoing alpha. That might not be a surprise, since the whole point of an alpha is to weed out performance issues like this, but it’s certainly annoying. Some of the game’s current issues are rendering it unplayable:
