Along with the huge success, PUBG Mobile also had its fair share of problems of which cheating was the biggest concern. PUBG Mobile developers have been routinely pushing updates to combat new vulnerabilities and the inbuilt anti-cheat system has largely been successful.
The company has announced that its anti-cheat system had banned over 3.8 million accounts this week, i.e., from June 18 to June 24. The anti-cheat system had previously banned more than 2.5 million accounts last month.
Needless to say, the anti-cheat system has been beneficial for the company and players alike. The company revealed some interesting data on the cheating problem. It revealed that 80 per cent of the cheaters were in the mid-tier to high-tier ranks and surprisingly 76 per cent of cheaters were using character modification cheats.
