PUBG New State arrived yesterday even before the scheduled release time. The game was released in multiple languages for Android and iOS users. Initially, players encountered difficulties logging into the game, as Krafton had delayed the official release. Even then, some players who have opened the game have reported that the officials ask for age verification just like BGMI, but is the system effective?
After announcing the release date of PUBG New State, Krafton gave us several details regarding its privacy policy for underage users. Krafton wants to make sure players under 18 and older don't spend their entire day fighting with their virtual enemies, this prompted them to bring in an age verification system so that underage players don't become not addicted to the game. If players have downloaded and logged in the game, they can be asked whether they are 18 or not.
Players have encountered several issues while playing the futuristic battle royale game. Several players have even reported not being able to connect to the game after downloading it without issue. Luckily, the officials after a series of maintenance breaks fixed the issue and even brought an optional update for players. It looks like players can finally access the game without facing any issues.

Players can login to the game using their Facebook ID or Google account, another option to play with guest account is also provided in the game. After login, players can set any what nickname and choose the preferred appearance of their character. After that comes the age verification system, a new dialog box will appear titled "User Information Verification". It will ask users to verify if they are 18 or older, if you meet the criteria you can just press yes, but underage players can also press "YES" as the officials do not ask for additional verification.
This makes the age verification system of the game ineffective as underage users can easily play the game as it does not require any proof of age. If users tap "NO", they will be prompted to provide their parents' number and enter the verification code. One can easily evade this by providing a number of their friend and entering the verification code from there.
This makes age verification futile as underage users can have smooth access to the game without obtaining parental consent. Battle royale games, primarily PUBG, have been in the limelight for destroying children's sanity and becoming a hindrance to their creative imagination. As a result, several countries including India have banned PUBG Mobile, although the main reason for banning PUBG in our country is the security issues.
Krafton has spared no effort to protect user data and as far as security is concerned, the game is completely safe until users see it as a game more than a real battle and get involved in it. not too. We recommend that underage players restrict their playing time as there is life outside of the "virtual battlefield".
