1,172,526 Free Fire accounts banned for cheating in the last two weeks

Garena Free Fire, one of the most successful mobile battle royale titles, has maintained steady growth and success in the first quarter of 2021. The game's developers are constantly adding new features to make it intriguing and fun for its player base.

However, with the number of users growing every day, the devs and players are facing obstacles in the form of cheaters. To counter this problem, Garena has set up an anti-cheat system that detects cheating software and bans the players who are using it instantly.

Along with this, the developers have also taken the help of the player base to counter this issue in the form of player reports.

Garena also publishes a bi-weekly report detailing the number of accounts banned for cheating along with the types of cheats used.
