Hello, BGMI players! We’ve got some important updates from KRAFTON regarding our ongoing battle against cheaters. During August, we ramped up our efforts to keep the game fair and fun for everyone, and the results are in. After a thorough review of gameplay data, we found that a staggering 60,000 accounts were involved in serious cheating offenses, leading to 10-year suspensions for those players.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg! Across the month, we penalized more than 452,000 accounts for various cheating activities, which included unauthorized game modifications and cheat software. Our Cheater Review Program has proven invaluable, allowing us to identify 1,664 additional accounts that needed action. Thank you to everyone who participated and reported suspicious activities!

We also tackled match disruption head-on, with 3,312 accounts penalized for crashing games or engaging in server-hacking activities. We’re not just stopping at game enforcement — we’re also cleaning up the community by removing 301 pieces of cheating content from online platforms and sanctioning 179 accounts for inappropriate chat or profile behavior.
