New Playerunknown's Battlegrounds Patch Shuts Down Lag Switchers

An upcoming patch for Playerunknown's Battlegrounds stops cheaters dead in their tracks, literally. Playerunknown's Battlegrounds will be getting its next patch on Tuesday. The update includes various bug fixes and optimizations, but the most notable change, is the system put in to prevent cheaters.

This new patch, adds measures to prevent cheaters from using a "lag switch". With this new update, players who exceed a certain ping will be unable to move, rotate or attack any players. This should land a huge blow to cheaters in Playerunknown's Battlegrounds as well as improve the overall quality of gameplay.

Check out the rest of the patch notes below:
