PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, the popular battle royale game, has published its official Weekly Bans Notice covering the period from January 5th to January 11th, 2026. The notice, released on January 13, 2026, by the PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Anti-Cheat Team, aims to inform the player community about strict actions taken against those abusing illegal software and engaging in various forms of misconduct. This initiative underscores Krafton's commitment to fostering a fair and equitable gaming environment for all players globally. The notice explicitly states that a list of permanently banned accounts for violating the game's rules of conduct has been shared. To protect player privacy, the first three letters of each banned in-game nickname have been replaced with asterisks (*). Players are strongly encouraged to report any suspicious activities or instances of illegal software use through the in-game reporting system. For additional assistance beyond in-game reports, players can contact PUBG Support. Furthermore, the announcement emphasizes the importance of account security, advising players to utilize the Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator. This measure helps prevent valuable accounts from being compromised or inadvertently banned due to the use of unauthorized programs or other forms of misconduct. These weekly ban notices are a regular practice by the PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS team, reflecting their continuous efforts to combat cheating and maintain game integrity, ensuring that competitive play remains fair for its vast global player base. While Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) caters specifically to the Indian audience, this notice applies to the global PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS platform.
