On July 15, 2024, PUBG Mobile announced that it permanently banned 378,203 accounts and 12,986 devices between July 5 and July 11. This action was part of the game’s ongoing efforts to combat cheating and maintain a fair playing environment.

Massive Ban Wave

The latest ban wave targeted players using cheats to gain an unfair advantage. PUBG Mobile has been aggressive in identifying and removing these accounts. This effort is part of the game’s Ban Pan initiative, which aims to keep the game free from hackers and cheaters.

Removal of Cheat Ads

In addition to banning accounts, PUBG Mobile removed 535 online cheat advertisements during the same period. These ads had a significant reach, with 679,254 followers and views. By removing these ads, PUBG Mobile is trying to cut off the supply of cheats at the source.

Ongoing Anti-Cheat Efforts

PUBG Mobile has a dedicated team focused on detecting and banning cheaters. The team uses various tools and techniques to identify suspicious behavior. This includes analyzing gameplay data and monitoring reports from players. The Ban Pan initiative is a key part of this strategy.

Impact on the Game

Cheating can significantly affect the gaming experience. It creates an unfair playing field and can discourage legitimate players. By taking strong action against cheaters, PUBG Mobile aims to provide a better experience for all players.

Encouraging Fair Play

PUBG Mobile’s efforts to combat cheating are also about encouraging fair play. The game’s developers want to create an environment where skill and strategy determine success, not cheats. This is important for maintaining the game’s competitive integrity.

The fight against cheating is ongoing. PUBG Mobile plans to continue its efforts to detect and ban cheaters. This includes improving their detection methods and increasing the speed at which they take action. The game’s developers are committed to ensuring a fair playing environment.

How Players Can Help

Players can help by reporting any suspicious behavior they see in the game. PUBG Mobile provides a reporting system for this purpose. The more information the anti-cheat team has, the better they can identify and ban cheaters.
