PUBG Mobile by Tencent is one of the most successful mobile games in the past few years. One of the main reasons for its success is the regular update by developers flushing out any cracks, bugs, etc.

The game is competitive in nature, so few players like to use scripts and hacks to bypass game mechanics and gain an unfair advantage over other players. This spoils not only users' interest but also the game's reputation.

To combat cheaters, developers have solid anti-cheat in place, which immediately bans a player upon detecting abnormalities.

Officials also disclosed the number of players they had banned in their weekly report, notifying fans about their actions against the hackers.
