Everybody is doing some level of in-house anti-cheat. They are typically no better than enterprise level applications. Look at PubG. They have 3 Anti-cheats running. BattlEye, EasyAC, and one other I can't remember the name of off hand. They also have in-game reporting, and there's PubG shield ( https://discord.com/channels/207018395139309569/747756393041231873). Game is lit with cheats and they are constantly banning.
Cheating is an industry wide issue. No game is untouched by it.
The best anyone could do is implement server-side anti-cheat. Validate input and action before executing it. ESP/Wallhacking will always be an issue. Nothing you can do about that really. There was a cheat last year that was offloading player positions and displaying them on other devices. Simply reading these positions from memory.
@Rev0verDriveI don't think EA will do better than other AC-products, but any improvements to FF is welcome.
Unless MS does something within the OS itself (running games in VMs etc), it will probably be very hard to remove cheating.
One big problem is that everybody "hates" MS, and if they did something drastic, then it will give a lot of problems with all kinds of applications (Afterburner etc etc).
Antivirus-like solutions are the only way at the moment and this will always be a race of detecting the latest cheat-software. But perhaps normal anti-virus-products (Defender, BitDefender etc) should begin detecting cheat-software, at least they have a lot of experience in detecting (unwanted) software.

Well this is interesting. Emails in the Epic Games v. Apple case reveal that Sony requires game developers to have an option to turn off cross-play on PlayStation.
TheVerge.com wrote:Sony also stipulates in the policy that publishers can’t transfer virtual currency to or from PlayStation, and that there must be a setting to disable all cross-platform interactions.
Guess this explains why PlayStation games have the option to disable cross-play, but Xbox games don't. Definitely getting BF6 on PS5 now.

Indeed @OskooI_007 ,
Sony has no interest in sharing their player population with their direct competitor MSFT, if they can avoid it and loose their current absolute control!
All while MSFT wants to gamble on both horses, as they win no matter if their players are on Xbox or on a Windows PC.
Now lets see how the next battlefield game will implement that function, as if all Windows MnK-jockeys (incl the wall hackers, punkbuster escapists, etc etc) they are blasting all console players out of the way in the game, then guess where the next generation of BF gamers wants to be?
The whole point of the consoles was exactly to serve as a level playing field, where it was not the player who could afford the most overpowered PC and sinister hacks that would necessarily win the match...
- VOLBANKER_PC4 years agoSeasoned Ace@CyberDyme If BF6 comes with forced crossplay for PC and Xbox, I’m switching from my Xbox Series X to PS5, whenever supply is available again.
I specifically quit PC gaming and switched to console to avoid playing with “super players” :/
