A new report has revealed a surprising truth about the hacking problem in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds,<\/em> as one region is to blame for the vast majority of it.<\/p>
New data from anti-cheat software BattlEye reveals that 99 percent of accounts banned for cheating are from China, according to YouxiStory<\/a>.<\/p>
The cheating issue is so bad that it may be starting to take a toll on the game’s daily active players by pushing them away entirely, as the game’s population has been on a steady decline<\/a> since January in spite of the game reaching 30 million sales.<\/p>
Meanwhile, two mobile versions of PUBG<\/em> just recently hit the market in China, and those, too, are smash hits. The two combined for over 75 million pre-orders<\/a> and immediately shot to the top of the iOS charts on release.<\/p>
For BattlEye and PUBG Corp., it’s a seemingly neverending battle. In January alone, the anti-cheat software auto-banned over one million<\/a> accounts. No matter what is done, though, they just keep coming.<\/p>
