BGMI September 2025 Anti-Cheat Report: 432K Accounts Banned
The surge in bans is attributed to Anti-Cheat 4.0, a comprehensive package of detection and reporting upgrades designed to strengthen monitoring and enforcement capabilities. This advanced system provides real-time confirmation when players report suspicious opponents, making the reporting process more transparent and effective.
Ban Breakdown by Cheat Type
| Cheat Type | Percentage | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Aimbot | 18.2% | Auto-aim hacks for instant headshots |
| Wall Hacks (ESP) | 13.8% | Seeing enemies through walls |
| Custom/Modded Cheats | 67.9% | Various modified game files |
| Hardware Devices | Included | Unauthorized external devices |
What’s New in Anti-Cheat 4.0?
The most visible change for players is the new real-time confirmation system when reporting suspicious opponents. This creates accountability and lets honest players know their reports are being processed immediately.
Expanded detection lists now target both in-match cheats like aimbots and wall hacks, plus off-match manipulations such as modified game clients and packet sniffing. The crackdown follows PUBG’s introduction of kernel-level anti-cheat updates aimed at detecting suspicious activity at the operating system level.
Impact on the Gaming Community
Cheating ruins competitive integrity, pushing fair players out of leaderboards and causing teams that train for months to lose against hackers. Professional players like Jonathan, Ghatak, Scout, and Mortal have repeatedly voiced frustration about rampant cheating affecting tournaments and ranked matches.
The September report shows Krafton is taking these concerns seriously. Besides banning individual accounts, the company now analyzes top-ranking leaderboard players for suspicious activity and permanently removes promotional content advertising hacks.
BGMI 4.0 Update Coming
Separately, BGMI 4.0 rolled out on September 11, introducing the Spooky Soiree mode with a haunted Wraithmoor Mansion, themed challenges, Pumpkin Zombies, and a Pumpkin Monster boss fight. This seasonal content arrives alongside the intensified anti-cheat measures.
For more updates on Krafton’s fair play initiatives and the latest mobile gaming news, stay tuned as the company continues refining its anti-cheat systems to create a better experience for legitimate players.
