Anti cheat software for PC?

Dear EA_Staff, can you please give us an update whether this version will contain any sort of anti cheat software for PC or not? Since the current version does not and it's awful as you can imagine....

I assume so but that is yet to be confirmed.

Thanks.

Thank you @EA_Barry.
I trust you can comprehend my concern, that if it wont be implemented, most people would not use the crossplay option if they were not on PC and we are back at square one.
There were so many cheaters back in the days and there still are even some alive until now.

Can we have that confirmation in this thread?

  Yes, please. @EA_Barry, could you please do something in this regard?
  I have already asked EA community managers on Discord and Reddit and I have asked Criterion Games and Stellar Entertainment on Twitter.
  I haven't received any answers which makes me worry.
  Thanks in advance.

    Seeing that this thread started in October 2020, and now it's Febuary 2021, I'm pretty sure that they didn't care at all.
    I have been playing this game since the first version on xbox. Back then people would still cheat, but the frequency and degree was nothing like what I'm seeing lately.
    Just now I've witnessed someone with unlimited nitro, and invincibility, in that he couldn't crash or be crashed. His health bar would also regenerate.
    And he's of course a PC player.
    A quick search on youtube would return videos of people showcasing said cheats with download links provided:

    2. https://youtu.be/2uEhQ0MSygg?t=17
    What is worse is that if you disabled crossplay, you'd not be able to find ANY lobbies at all. So we're pretty much stuck with cheaters from PC platform.
