Hello, players.

In this roadmap, we would like to introduce the key initiatives that our Anti-Cheat Team will be focusing on throughout 2026. Through more precise and robust response systems, we are committed to ensuring that all players who play fair can enjoy the game in a truly competitive and trustworthy environment.

Now, let us walk you through the PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Anti-Cheat 2026 Development Roadmap.

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Anti-Cheat 2026 Roadmap

PUBG Anti-Cheat isn't just about catching cheaters. Protecting fair players is one of our top priorities. To ensure your true effort and skill are never questioned or undermined, we’ll continue to advance our Anti-Cheat with more refined systems and enhanced player support.

We are strengthening protection for legitimate players. The key is improving accuracy so normal play isn’t affected. We'll refine screening systems for greater precision in the first half of this year, and improve the false ban review process in the second half for more systematic post-action measures and timely operations.

Since cheating patterns vary by platform and region, we will continue to strengthen region-specific responses, continuously analyzing global trends, prioritizing by cheat type, and improving detection and countermeasures on consoles.

Increasing permanent ban conversion is also a major focus. Cheaters repeatedly create new accounts after being banned, so we're going beyond one-time penalties to structurally block re-entry. We'll identify re-entry attempts through stolen accounts, apply stronger bans, and introduce AI-powered video review for more efficient pattern analysis.

We're also reinforcing both prevention and enforcement systems. Detection and bans are important, but blocking cheats from working in the first place is most effective. We'll advance hardware-based re-entry blocks, expand prevention features, and broaden detection of ban evasion tactics.

Eradication of DMA cheating remains our top priority. In 2025, we permanently banned approximately 260,000 DMA-based cheaters and have also taken legal action against cheat production and distribution networks. In 2026, we'll continue to advance DMA detection and maintain our firm enforcement stance.

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Anti-Cheat Team will continue working to maintain a fair environment in 2026, and your honest play will always be respected.

Thank you.
