Bluehole Studios has announced that it will launch a massive ban wave for PC servers of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) after managing to crack down on at least 100,000 cheaters. The development team discovered a pattern the cheaters have been exploiting to cheat on the game.
As the team noted, any players that are caught in this wave will be permanently banned from the game.
Earlier this month, we claimed that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is the best selling PC game of all time. From the looks of it, this battle-royale game will soon hit 30 million sold copies as it has so far sold 29 million copies.
It’s also worth noting that Bluehole has been supporting its title. Since its launch, the team has released four big updates for it. In the latest update that is available on the test servers, Bluehole introduced a new type of anti-cheat solution, which is still under development. This fourth patch also brings some improvements to the Miramar map and improved the Replay system.

The YouTuber by the name of Rags did a great video highlighting how Bluehole Games have been spinning the facts with wilfully disingenuous statements designed to obfuscate the truth.
loser watching a loser on youtube what to expect from a loser racist racist losers think alike
Another day, another braindead trolling comment from you. gg
We don’t have to stop them for good. Even if we can stop them temporarily it’s a win for gamers who paid to have a fair and fun experience.
cheating is the second name of pc gaming
Warning people ahead of a ban wave is a bad idea. It gives cheaters the opportunity to stop streaming in time. Bans should always come as a surprise. Same for the implementation of new anti-cheat mechanisms. Always stealth-update those things into your game so people are caught off-guard. Now all the cheaters are going to stop for a while until a few have figured out whether the anti-cheat works or not. Then they will all be back with new cheats that fly under the radar yet again. Never ever ever warn cheaters about measures taken against them. This alone confirms what others are saying: There’s no real interest in stopping cheaters in this game.
