PUBG developers warn players about cheating

Cheating on PUBG is so widespread that people are getting arrested and having their information stolen, developers have warned.

Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds is one of the biggest and most competitive games in the world. But that has led to players using tricks to get ahead. Including downloading new software that makes them better at killing other people in the game. People can also be arrested for doing such things, as hacking.

Anti-cheating program

The full scale of cheating on the game is incredibly vast. Anti-cheating software company BattlEye said in February that it had banned more than a million cheaters in January alone – warning then that “things continue to escalate”, suggesting that the numbers will be even higher now.

But even aside from those arrests, players cheating on PUBG are exposing themselves and their computers to danger. The software is being used to install viruses on the users’ computer – and then extract information from them. PUBG update completely overhauls how weapons work.
The warning came as part of a new update to Steam posted by PUBG Corp, the developers of the game.

As you all now know, we’ve been doing everything possible to root out cheating from PUBG,” they said. “The ultimate goal is to create an environment for players that’s completely safe from hackers and cheaters.

“We take cheating extremely seriously. Developing, selling, promoting, or using unauthorized hacking/cheating programs isn’t just unfair for others playing PUBG—in many places, it’s also against the law.”

Developers said that they are working on new ways of detecting those cheaters and kicking them off the game.

“We’ve upgraded our security measures, improved our anti-cheat solutions, and recently even added a new anti-cheat solution on top of all that,” the Steam post continued. “In the meantime, we’ve also been continuously gathering information on hack developers (and sellers) and have been working extensively with multiple partners and judicial authorities to bring these people to justice.” Don’t forget to subscribe for more latest news.
