"We are always dedicated to bringing you a fair gaming environment by punishing players who disturb this environment. Recently, we have successfully combated more Android cheat methods. In July, we discovered a cheat distribution website on which we, through continued monitoring, acquired access to a cheat software with its various versions."
"After testing, the software was verified featuring health vision, enemy distance display, hitbox vision, supplies vision, and skeleton vision. Those who downloaded and installed this APK file disturbed the fair gaming environment and players' experience that we strive for."
In our persistent efforts to combat cheaters in PUBG MOBILE's new version, we have issued a total of 103,304 permanent account suspensions in connection with this cheat software alone. The current software is now logged, and we will continue to monitor it to prevent further occurrences. This way, we can stop it at its source."
"We are doing our utmost to preserve the gaming experience for all players and have zero tolerance for cheating and other exploitations from unfairness. We hope that everyone will follow the rules and maintain a fair gaming environment."
