Anti-cheat on Consoles

How does anti-cheat work on consoles? I have assumed that it is present to stop hardware cheats like Chronos/Xim, but I am having my doubts.

  • Hey Lancelot_du_Lac​,

    From what I gather there is an agreement between EA, Sony, and Microsoft, aimed at tackling these adapters, but I don't think they released much information about it. I've also seen some posts about Javelin being used to identify users on console in Apex (https://www.ea.com/en/games/apex-legends/apex-legends/news/breach-anti-cheat-update), but haven't come across anything specific to Battlefield so far.

  • Hi there, for Battlefield, you can find more information in the Anti-Cheat Update.

    Behavioral Model Updates - We’ve created new machine learning models to better identify bad actors that are intentionally interfering with others’ gameplay beyond reasonable competitive behavior. These include actions like stream‑sniping, purposeful team sabotage, blocking spawns of vehicles or engaging in various forms of collusion or match manipulation, such as consistent informal team-ups, win-trading and other prohibited behaviors that go against fair play. We began seeing this disruptive conduct become more prevalent during the latter half of Season 2 and are now ready with trained models to help us identify and sanction such infractions.
