PUBG Mobile has been hugely successful over the past few years in terms of both popularity and revenue. The game crossed $1 billion in revenue in just five months in 2021, according to data analytics site Sensor Tower.
The game was a huge hit despite being banned in India and other countries. Even though, the game is still in the heart of every gamer and the game is playable somehow. It has fabulous and growing eSports communities and growing revenue day by day. The game was also nominated for Esports Game of the Year at the 2021 Esports Awards.
With such amazing achievements, the game has its share of problems in the form of cheaters and hackers. They use various third party software to get hacks so that they can easily win the game without any effort. The number of cheaters and the use of third-party software have increased along with the number of active players.
To maintain a legit and sustainable gaming platform for all, PUBG Mobile developers had introduced an anti-cheat system which rectifies and bans all cheaters who are subjected to hacks to gain an unfair advantage over legit players and a Ban Pan program was introduced.
PUBG Mobile officials launch a weekly report as part of their pan ban program. The report lists all accounts that were banned along with the percentage of rating levels and cheats used. As usual, a new weekly report was released today on their social media accounts. From June 18 to June 24, the anti-cheat system banned approximately 3,884,690 users responsible for cheating in the game using hacks.
The main reasons for the bans this week are character modification. This week's ban report saw a massive increase in the number of bans compared to the previous week's ban report. It increased by more than 51% percent that is more than 1.3 million.

It seems that cheaters come up with new tricks like modifying their in-game characters. Eventually, they get caught under the radar of the anti-cheat system. But the increase in the number of bans indicates the effectiveness of the PUBG Mobile anti-cheat system.
