Battlefield 6’s Anti-Cheat Has Blocked 2.39 Cheat Attempts Since Launch

by

After nearly two months since its release, EA and Battlefield Studios have shared an update on the Javelin anti-cheat system in Battlefield 6. In a recent post, the developers explained how they measure cheating using something called Match Infection Rate (MIR). They confirmed that in the first week after launch, 98% of all matches weren’t affected by cheaters.

The developers explain that the [MIR] metric represents the likelihood of a player encountering a cheater during their games. They prioritize this measurement over simply tracking the number of cheaters they ban because protecting the overall player experience is what truly matters, even with frequent enforcement actions like bans and suspensions.

During the first weekend after the launch of Battlefield 6, the game’s anti-cheat system, Javelin, successfully blocked over 367,000 cheating attempts. This is a significant improvement compared to the game’s beta test, where over 1.2 million cheating attempts were recorded. Since the full game launched, Javelin has now blocked a total of 2.39 million cheat attempts.

Battlefield Studios is committed to enhancing its anti-cheat measures for the future. The team is exploring advanced security features within operating systems, similar to technologies like TPM 2.0, HVCI, and VBS, to help identify and block cheaters. They also plan to directly address hardware often used for cheating. While acknowledging this hardware can also be used for accessibility purposes, Battlefield Studios suggests players use official accessibility controllers, such as the Xbox Adaptive Controller or PlayStation Access controller, for the best experience.

We’re also planning to make it simpler to report players suspected of cheating, so our team can take action. We’re improving the tools we use to fight cheaters and hackers, and multiple teams are developing new anti-cheat measures that will work throughout the game, on both the client and server sides, and even in other areas.

Battlefield Studios stated they are constantly working to counter cheaters, just as cheaters are always finding new ways to gain an unfair advantage. They’re committed to fair play, both as developers and players, and have been preparing for this battle for a while. They also ask players to help by reporting suspected cheaters through the in-game reporting system. These reports provide valuable data that helps them identify and investigate cheaters, and understand the extent of the problem to improve the game for everyone.

Battlefield 6 is now available to play on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. The game’s developers at Battlefield Studios have openly talked about the anti-cheat measures they’ve put in place. If you’re interested, you can also read our review of the game.
