PUBG Mobile continues to dominate the battle royale genre, surpassing $1 billion in revenue within five months in 2021, per Sensor Tower data. Despite regional bans, including in India, the game remains a favorite among gamers worldwide, boasting thriving esports scenes and a nomination for Esports Game of the Year at the 2021 Esports Awards.
However, this success has attracted cheaters using third-party hacks to gain unfair advantages. As player numbers grow, so does cheating—prompting developers to deploy a robust anti-cheat system and the Ban Pan program to ensure fair play for all.
In the latest weekly Ban Pan report, shared on official social channels, PUBG Mobile banned 3,884,690 accounts for cheating between June 18 and 24. This represents a massive 51% increase—over 1.3 million more bans—than the previous week, primarily due to character modifications.
