Battlefield 6 continues its efforts to keep matches free from cheaters. According to the latest data shared by EA, the game has already blocked 2.4 million cheating attempts.
Since its release on October 10, the EA Javelin anti-cheat system has successfully prevented millions of unfair plays. EA reported that during the first week after launch, 98% of all matches were fair and unaffected by cheaters.
EA’s Ongoing Battle Against Cheating
Electronic Arts stated that it is preparing for this war against cheaters in an evolving way, with new measures planned to combat rule breakers.
These details come from a post shared on EA’s social media accounts. To give a sense of scale, EA also revealed that during the open beta alone, over 1.2 million cheating attempts were stopped.
The team added: “We are presently aware of, and have multiple detections for, 190 cheat related programs, hardware, vendors, and resellers and their communities. Since launch 183 of them (96.3%) have announced feature failures, detection notices, downtime, and/or taken their cheats offline entirely.”
EA confirmed that several teams are working on new anti-cheat features and detection methods within the Javelin suite — across game clients, servers, and beyond.
“As soon as any of these new ways of delivering ban hammers are fully tested and ready we’ll share more,” the team said. “But for now we don’t want to tip our hand to any bad-actors looking to ruin your game experience.”
In other news, Electronic Arts has claimed that Battlefield 6 is the best-selling shooter of the year.
