PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has banned over 150,000 cheaters

150,000 cheaters have been banned from the battleground courtesy of BattleEye, and eight,000 of these have been throughout the previous 24 hours in line with Brendan Greene.

We reported in August that 50,000 bans had been handed down because the sport’s launch, so it appears that evidently about 100,000 gamers have been kicked inside little over a month. Even with these spectacular stats, BattleEye determine there’s at all times extra work to do.

Oh, and for those who’re kicking again for a nasty remark about overzealous safety in opposition to stream sniping, Greene’s prepared for you.

The large enhance in bans is the results of ever extra sturdy detection programs, but additionally the results of PUBG’s seemingly unending growth. The sport reached ten million copies bought earlier this month, and handed one million concurrent Steam customers only a few days afterward. It’s solely the second sport in historical past to hit the latter milestone after Dota 2, and now it’s repeatedly beating Valve’s monolithic MOBA within the most-played charts. Somehow, I doubt they’re lacking these final 150,000 customers very a lot.
