The PUBG MOBILE anti-cheat system does not slow down. During the week from March 13 to March 19, 2026, the developers permanently banned 217,314 accounts and blocked 5,260 devices — without the right to refund. The report was published as part of the weekly #BanPan campaign, which the PUBG MOBILE Security Center has been running for several seasons.

What they ban in PUBG MOBILE: the main reasons for blocking
The main impact fell on users of four types of cheats. AIM is an automatic aiming device, in fact, an aimbot that catches the head itself. WallHack is a so—called “X-ray vision” that allows you to see opponents through walls and shelters. SpeedHack — acceleration of movement speed when the player rushes around the map faster than any transport. And the modification of the damage area is the twist of the hitboxes, which causes each shot to cause more damage.
The set is, frankly, classic. But the scale is impressive.
Global statistics: Removing cheat ads and fighting outside of matches
The developers are hitting not only the cheaters themselves. In the 11th week of the year, the PUBG MOBILE security team demolished 803 advertisements for the sale of cheats – the total coverage of these publications was 11,290,415 views and subscribers. In other words, work is also underway outside the game — on social networks, forums, and Telegram channels.
For context: in February 2026, over 1.4 million accounts were distributed. The March pace is still slightly lower, but a week is not a month, and the final figures may be comparable.
Hardware bans are the main weapon of the BAN PAN system
The key detail that should be highlighted separately is device locking. Hardware ban means that a blocked cheater will not be able to simply create a new account and continue spoiling matches. The system binds the ban to the hardware, not just to the profile. This is much tougher than the usual account ban, which is why 5,260 blocked devices sound more serious than they seem at first glance.
How to complain about a cheater in PUBG MOBILE
If a suspicious player is caught in a match, a complaint can be sent directly from the game via the built—in BAN PAN anti-cheat system. Developers regularly remind us that community reports are one of the main sources of data for identifying violators. Facebook Instagram and Facebook security information is available on the official PUBG MOBILE channels on Telegram, Instagram, and Facebook.
