<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="http://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/pubg-has-banned-13-million-cheating-players-to-date.png" width="646" height="385" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p><em>PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds</em> has banned over 13 million players since the game’s publisher started sharing ban numbers in June 2017.</p>
<p>That 13 million figure comes courtesy of a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBATTLEGROUNDS/comments/9kotf0/bluehole_banned_13million_cheaters_so_far/">Reddit post</a> spotted by <a href="https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-10-02-13-million-pubg-cheaters-have-been-banned-so-far">Eurogamer</a> that added up (and made a nifty chart out of) the publicly disclosed ban numbers that PUBG Corp’s parent company Bluehole shares online.</p>
<p>The data, and the resulting graph, offers developers a slightly more detailed look at the war <em>PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds</em> has been fighting against cheaters since the game kicked off the current battle royale boom. </p>
<p>Those 13 million permanent bans have been dished out across 69 weekly waves of bans. The original post from the Reddit user sjk045 features a spreadsheet of each week’s ban numbers as well that shows a peak of 1,010,163 cheaters banned during Bluehole’s 42nd weekly ban session.</p>
<p>The post also notes that this latest week, week 69, is the only time since week 25 that under 100,000 cheaters have been caught and banned.</p>
