How to Report a Player in PUBG on PC, Console, and Mobile

To report a player in PUBG, one of the best battle royale games, open the scoreboard or match summary screen during or after a match, highlight their name, and select the report button to submit a violation category. If you miss this window, you can also report players retroactively through the PC replay system or submit a manual ticket via official support portals and Discord.

PC Active Match and Arcade Reporting

In active PC matchmaking, the fastest way to flag an offender is directly through the live match interface. While in a match, press the Tab key to open the interactive player list. Left-click on the target player’s name to display the interaction menu, select the Report button, choose the specific violation categories, and click submit.

In Team Deathmatch or other Arcade modes, the traditional spectator phase and results screen are unavailable due to the rapid respawn cycle. To report an enemy player in these modes, press R immediately during your post-death respawn window. For teammates in Arcade modes, press Escape to access the system menu and look for the player panels in the bottom-right corner. A dedicated report megaphone icon sits directly next to each teammate’s name.

PC Replay Retroactive Reporting

If a suspicious player was not reported during the live match, the built-in 3D replay database on PC allows for retrospective reporting. This tool must be active in your client settings prior to the match to capture gameplay files. Use these steps to navigate the reconstruction system:

• From the main game lobby screen, select Career at the top of the screen and click the Replays sub-tab.
• Choose the target match from the list and select Play to load the 3D replay.
• Press J on your keyboard once the replay loads to display the playback timeline interface.
• Press M to display the tactical overhead map. Use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in on the target engagement zone.
• Click on the suspected player’s nameplate or map circle to bind the camera.
• Press V to lock the camera directly into their first-person perspective, or press C to bind the camera to a third-person follow-view.
• Press Tab to display the active player list on screen. Right-click the suspect’s name directly from this menu to trigger the Report button.
• Alternatively, look at the bottom-right side of the timeline overlay next to the Edit tab and click the Report button to select the specific cheat categories.

Console Scoreboard and Ticket Process

Console players on Xbox and PlayStation can report directly during active games using physical gamepad inputs. Press the Options button on PlayStation or the Menu button on Xbox to call up the scoreboard screen. Use the D-pad to scroll and highlight the offending gamertag, press Cross on PlayStation or A on Xbox to open the contextual interaction options, and select Report.

When playing on console, completing reports retroactively requires linking a KRAFTON ID, which is particularly useful if you have enabled console cross-platform play configurations to match with players on other devices. To raise a ticket manually:

• Open a web browser, go to accounts.krafton.com, and log in with your credentials.
• Navigate to the Linked Accounts section and connect your Xbox or PlayStation network profile.
• Go to xboxsupport.pubg.com, select Reports and Restrictions, and click Submit a Ticket.
• Fill in the required fields with the target’s exact gamertag, the date of the incident, and a video clip under 20 MB.

Mobile Leaderboard and Add Friend Searches

PUBG Mobile utilizes its own customized interfaces for submitting cheater reports to its Ban Pan review backend. Tapping the Leaderboard icon during a live match allows you to select any player’s profile avatar, tap the three-line hamburger icon on the top-left of their profile overlay, and select Report.

If the suspect is not on your friends list and the post-match screen has closed, search for them manually:

• Tap the Friends tab on the main lobby screen and go to the Add Friend menu.
• Type the suspect’s exact alphanumeric nickname or character ID into the search bar.
• Select their avatar from the search results to load their profile Data page.
• Look at the panel on the right side of their profile and tap Tier Overview.
• Tap the Report button situated in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Chat Moderation and Block Lists

For immediate relief from text spam or harassment inside the active game chat, you can block players instantly. This prevents offenders from sending you any future invitations or direct communications. Use these steps to manage chat behavior:

• Open the Chat box and tap the offending player’s profile picture to bring up the Player Action menu.
• Tap Report Player to flag their chat logs directly to the content moderation filters.
• Tap Block Player to instantly place them onto your Black List, then click OK on the confirmation pop-up.
• To manage these restrictions, tap the Friends tab in the main lobby, and select Black List in the top-right corner.

Discord Manual Ticket System

For high-priority cheating reports that include clear video evidence, PUBG offers a manual-review channel via Discord that bypasses in-game queues. This channel routes evidence directly to the game’s Anti-Cheat team for physical verification. You can expect a response confirming whether a ban was applied within a few days.

Join the official community server at discord.gg/pubgm (for mobile) or the official PC server, open a ticket under the dedicated anti-cheat or support channel, and fill out these exact fields:

• Suspect’s in-game nickname or character ID.
• Target platform, specifically designating Steam, PlayStation, or Xbox.
• Detailed type of cheat observed, such as wallhacks or aimbots.
• A direct URL link to HD video evidence showing the violation.

While reporting cheaters helps keep matchmaking clean, you should also focus on survival by consulting the updated tier list of the best weapons currently dominating the meta.

Platform Reporting Inputs and Setup Requirements

Succeeding with these report routes requires specific button presses and correct system configurations. Players must use the exact inputs and diagnostic options mapped to their target device to successfully trigger the correct interface overlays.
