1.5 million is certainly a huge number of players caught cheating and subsequently banned, especially for a game that only launched 9 months ago. According to SteamSpy, their are 26 million PUBG players on PC alone, making the 1.5 million bans roughly 5.8% of the player base. This is certainly a high statistic, but it also shows the effectiveness of the anti-cheat software being used. Have you encountered much cheating in PUBG?
