PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Test Patch Launches New Anti-Cheat Systems

The anti-cheat measures finally launch on the PC version.

PUBG Corp pushed back its fancy new technology to combat cheaters in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds from the live servers, when it was supposed to be up earlier this week, but after a quick run on the test servers we can now expect the patch to roll out to the larger game today.

Following a brief window of testing on the beta servers, players of the Battle Royale hit should be expecting the patch to hit the live game at 6pm PT, 9pm ET and 2am UK. The servers will go down for about three hours for maintenance to facilitate the transition.

The patch notes can be found just below, where you can see all the smaller tweaks that the developers made in their endless quest to make the game better, which this time means mostly adjustment to the sounds in the red zone.
