PUBG Mobile hacks: New anti-cheat system bans 1,994,845 accounts this week

PUBG Mobile has been ruling the mobile gaming world since its release. One of the main reasons is its fast gameplay, stellar graphics, and fewer cheaters. Many games in the past have suffered due to cheaters who spoil the user experience.

PUBG Mobile developers have put several anti-cheat systems in place that prevent cheaters from ruining the game for others. They even get handed ten-year bans from the game if caught.

The developers also publish a weekly report informing fans about the action they have taken against cheaters. PUBG Mobile has now put out its 22nd report for cheaters who have been banned in the previous week, i.e., from January 29th to February 4th.
