Once upon a time, PUBG was averaging over three million concurrent players on Steam but that glory came crashing down quickly as the cheaters kept ruining virtually every match.
Fortnite emerged, and the rest is history.
However, PUBG still has a pretty big player base, even though it is only about 10 per cent of what it once was and Krafton is determined to keep them as free of cheaters as possible.
The team's latest efforts hinted that there are two main ways cheaters keep getting into PUBG ranked mode and they are mostly using hijacked accounts or purchased ones.
In the case of hijacked accounts, it's self-explanatory - the account was stolen from someone who had level 80 or higher and is then used to cheat in ranked.
Meanwhile, there are also accounts that are leveled through certain repetitive actions by people who intend to sell them in the first place. Once they are level 80, they change hands in exchange for money.
It appears that the devs incorporated machine learning in order to help them curb the threat of hijacked accounts and they are now going to do the same for the accounts that exploited Survival Mastery Level system.
In short, Krafton will be using AI to further prevent cheating in PUBG but there is currently no ETA for these systems.
