With two new updates, the PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) developers aim to take stronger action against cheaters.
In the popular battle royale shooter “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds”, up to 42,000 cheaters are banned daily. However, that is not enough, as the community continues to criticize the high number of cheaters.
The PUBG developers now plan to clamp down even harder and catch cheaters earlier.
Additional Anti-Cheat Measures Coming
In a letter to the community, the developers sincerely want to apologize for the cheating issues in PUBG. They regret that you could not play the game in a fair environment.
Now they want to detect cheaters earlier and better, and remove them from the game.
As we have already announced, we are currently in the process of implementing new tools in the game. These are meant to identify players with unusual gameplay behavior.
On November 3, there was already an update with new anti-cheat measures. Cheaters are to be permanently banned from the game. “If unusual gameplay behavior is detected, the corresponding account will be temporarily penalized and then investigated more closely.”.
Next week, there should be another update that will improve cheater detection. “We will continue to work on improving our cheat detection system. The measures to detect and ban cheaters will be tightened. At the same time, we ensure that fair players do not receive wrongful punishments.”
However, these changes will not make all cheaters disappear “overnight”. It is an ongoing process that (hopefully) continues to improve in the future.
Tests for the 1.0 version of PUBG are likely being delayed – The community reacts in its own way
