As Battlefield 6’s open beta continues, striking data about the game’s anti-cheat system has been shared. Over 330,000 cheat attempts were blocked during the beta. After footage of cheating began circulating on social media, the development team officially announced that these attempts were blocked thanks to systematic interventions by Javelin, the security software used.
Battlefield 6 Doesn’t Tolerate Cheaters
Battlefield 6’s beta opened to all players on August 9th. In the first few hours, the player count surpassed 300,000, and due to the high volume of users, many users were unable to access the game. In parallel with the high demand, cheat attempts also increased. This was highlighted by videos circulating on various platforms featuring features like seeing through walls or auto-aim.
The SPEAR team, which manages Javelin’s anti-cheat system, announced that 44,000 potential cheating attempts were reported by players on the first day, and this number rose to 60,000 on the second day. These reports were evaluated using AI-powered analysis.
The SPEAR team stated that they used this data, in collaboration with its Gameplay Integrity team, to develop detection methods. It was also stated that they worked in coordination with the Battlefield Positive Play team to remove users confirmed to be cheaters from the game.
Javelin blocked attempts to circumvent the anti-cheat system, as well as the use of cheat software. While the beta version is still active, both automated systems and community feedback are being processed simultaneously to prevent cheaters from affecting the gameplay experience.
Battlefield 6 has attracted attention with its user engagement already in its beta phase, and the development team is also taking an aggressive stance against cheating. The functionality and sustainability of this system in the full game are being eagerly awaited.
