PUBG Mobile cheaters getting banned by the millions

In late August, PUBG Corp revealed the new era of PUBG Mobile, with the mammoth 1.0 update coming in September, as well as a Global Championship with a $2 million prize pool. However, PUBG mobile does still have a cheater problem. With the improved anti-cheat, the developers are banning those who use cheats in PUBG mobile by the millions.
