State of game/ cheats

Console Cheating Has Made the Game Unplayable

Hello Respawn Team,

I’m writing this as a long-time, die-hard fan of the game who truly cares about its future. I have invested countless hours and a significant amount of money into this game over the years because I love it and want it to succeed.

Unfortunately, since the beginning of this year, the game on consoles has become completely unplayable due to the overwhelming amount of cheating. There is currently no clean game mode left. Public matches, Mixtape, Ranked, and even Wildcard — every single mode is filled with players using XIM, Cronus Zen, Titan Two, and similar devices.

Gunfights no longer feel fair or skill-based. Every engagement turns into being instantly laser-beamed, regardless of positioning or movement. It doesn’t matter who you fight — the recoil control, tracking, and inhuman consistency make it obvious that external devices are being abused constantly.

This issue has reached a point where the game is no longer enjoyable or playable on console. From New Year onward, it feels impossible to log in and have a fair match. As someone who has supported this game financially and emotionally for years, this is extremely frustrating and honestly heartbreaking.

I’m not writing this out of hate, but out of concern. Console players desperately need stronger and more effective anti-cheat measures against input spoofing and hardware-based cheats. If this continues unchecked, many loyal players will simply walk away.

Please take this problem seriously. We love this game — but right now, it feels like we’re fighting cheaters instead of other players.

Thank you for your time and for listening.

A very disappointed, but still loyal fan
