Every popular multiplayer title in the world faces a similar set of issues that ruin the experience of the community. This includes the growing amounts of cheaters who damage the pure enjoyment that players have while playing video games.
For years, this issue has affected many console and PC titles. However, with mobile titles gaining a lot of popularity in recent years, it seems like the platform’s biggest games can’t avoid them as well. This includes the highly touted Battle Royale title, Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI).
Recently, the game’s South Korean developers Krafton announced that it had banned over 70,000 hackers from the game between January 3 and January 9. The developers even shared a list of the cheaters they banned from BGMI in a recent blog post.
This isn’t the first time Krafton has announced a massive ban. Over the last few weeks, the developers have continuously churned out major ban waves in which they have suspended around 100,000 accounts from BGMI.
The ban waves have helped weed out many of the unwanted cheaters that ruin the experience of genuine players who want to enjoy some Battle Royale action in BGMI.
With weekly ban waves, Krafton has provided a brilliant platform for players to experience Battle Royale on the go. Even then, a lot of players have reported many cheaters they have faced in the game’s different modes.
The ban waves may have helped slow down a lot of accounts using the popular cheats from the market. However, some of them continue to seep through the cracks of the defences provided by Krafton.
However, fans are hopeful that the developers to improve their anti-cheat with the upcoming Update 1.8, which will also introduce Spider-Man to BGMI with the recent collaboration with Sony Pictures.
The character was first teased by Krafton around the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home, which recently broke the $1.5 billion mark in the box office, and BGMI players can’t wait to try out the cool cosmetics that will be available as part of the collaboration.
As of right now, the developers have released no information about the update’s release, however, it’s been rumoured that it will arrive sometime later this month.
