13 Million People Have Been Banned on PUBG

4.6
Battle Royale game Players Uknown Battleground has been embattled in a war to keep its game cheat free for some time now. Despite several efforts, PUBG’s platform is still plagued by hackers, bots, and just nefarious gamers.

Even though it appears PUBG is fighting an uphill battle against cheating on its platform, the studio behind the game says it’s making headway. According to stats published by PUBG developer Bluehole, in the past year, 13 million bans have been doled out to cheaters since June of 2017.

Eurogamer published a recent article highlighting a Reddit user by the name of sjk405’s discovery of 69 Bluehole posts on PUBG’s Korean cafe website.

Using a nifty self-made graph of Bluehole’s data Sjk405 pinpoints the peak ban timeframe for PUBG and the subsequent decrease in numbers of players that followed.



Judging by the Sjk405’s chart, not only is PUBG dealing with an increase in cheating activity when compared to the previous year, but the game seems to simultaneously be seeing a drop in player engagement. The drop in player engagement may be a correlation of its bans which could get to the core player base and help with calls to “Fix PUBG.”

Chat Now get rid of the kids who hack on Xbox with Radar and other stuff, then I will be a happy bunny, but honestly really glad they're going after hackers and striking them down, are doing one hell of a good job.



I can't say I've ever actually noticed anyone hacking on the Xbox version

Wish everyone would do this but unfortunately it's all about numbers and making money instead of fair play.I think the amount of people who disconnect from a game as soon as they start losing is a way worse problem tbh,it's absolutely ridiculous.Is losing a game really so bad?

Good to see this happen. You don't see hackers on Xbox but I can't imagine what it's like on pc it ruins the experience for everyone else so it's good to see them sort this out

I don't see the point in cheating in PUBG I mean I can't say I'm against modding cause I mod myself but PUBG why?

Mostly the PC side running it for others. Glad they are handling them.

Spencer That's awesome that they take action against cheaters. There is nothing more that ruins a multiplayer game then cheaters, of course single player or custom games i'm fine with but not straight up multiplayer.


I hate cheating in games like this where it is all based on skill annoys me so much
