PUBG Mobile developers have announced that they will be adding a new feature to combat hackers and cheaters that have infiltrated the game.

The developers notes that the system is quite similar to the one used by other competitive games like League of Legends and Counter Strike: Global  How this will work is that when a player is reported for suspicious activity in a game, a battle replay video is generated from the suspicious player’s perspective. This video will then be distributed randomly to multiple player investigators who will then analyze the video. If a majority of the investigators confirm that the video contains a violation, it will be sent to the official PUBG Mobile team for review, who will then proceed to take necessary acti...
