PUBG Mobile hacks: New anti-cheat system bans 1,638,088 accounts in one week

PUBG Mobile is one of the most famous mobile battle royale games in the world. However, with soaring popularity comes a host of cheaters who use unethical means to get ahead in the game.

To combat these hacks and maintain fair play, the developers have created several anti-cheat systems like the video review system, the script detection system, etc. They also publish a weekly report informing fans of the action they have taken against cheaters in a particular week.

PUBG Mobile has published its ninth report for cheaters who have been banned over a week, i.e., from 23rd October to 29th October.
