Free Fire hacks: 1,392,024 accounts banned for cheating in the last two weeks

In the last two weeks, Free Fire has banned over 1.3 million accounts for using various cheats.

Mobile Gaming titles have enjoyed quite some success over the last year. With the ongoing pandemic forcing people to stay home for long periods of time, people have turned to games as a source of entertainment. The popularity of titles like Free Fire has grown worldwide and new players start playing the game every day.

However, with such a huge player-base, many cheat to gain an unfair advantage over their competitors by using third-party hacks. This not only ruins the game for those who play without hacks but also destroys the competitive integrity of the game. Developers are always coming up with new methods to deal with this issue.

To combat these cheaters and maintain fair play, the developers have been banning cheaters from the game. In the last two weeks, the developers have banned a total of 1,392,024 accounts for using various cheats. According to Free Fire, 45% of the cheaters were banned due to reports from fellow players.
