PUBG Mobile hacks: New anti-cheat system bans 1,462,970 accounts this week

PUBG Mobile has grossed more than 5 billion USD in player spending and 1 billion in overall downloads since its release, according to a report from the data analysis firm Sensor Tower.

With millions of active users every day, it becomes difficult to manually keep tabs on every player in the game.

As a result, PUBG Mobile developers have a robust anti-cheat system in place that not only detects cheaters but also bans their accounts if they are found to have engaged in unfair practices in the game.
