Hello, players.

As shared in our previous Dev Letter, we're strengthening our ban policy on the use of abnormal input devices to ensure fair competition in console environments. With a more advanced detection system now giving us sufficient confidence, permanent bans will be applied to accounts confirmed to be using abnormal input devices on consoles.

Please see below for the detailed schedule.

Details

What's Changing

• Permanent bans now apply to accounts using abnormal input devices or other cheats on consoles

Affected Platforms

• Console (Xbox, PlayStation®)

Effective Date

• June 30, 2026 (Tue), 05:00 UTC

This policy applies to cheating that includes the use of mouse and keyboard signal converters (e.g., Cronus, XIM, Mix Master) and unauthorized devices that grant an unfair gameplay advantage.

The PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Team will continue to apply consistent criteria to any activity that undermines fair competition across all platforms, and keep working to deliver a competitive environment that console players can experience for themselves.

Thank you.

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Team
