Battlefield 6 is Shockingly Almost Cheater Free and Players Are Loving It

Battlefield 6 launched with a surprising claim from its developers. According to their first report, the game is almost 98 percent free of cheaters. That number is based on what the studio calls the Match Infection Rate, which measures how many matches were affected by at least one cheating player. During the open beta the game sat around 93 percent clean matches, but by the time the full release arrived it climbed to nearly 98 percent.

The studio credits this improvement to its new kernel level anti cheat system called EA Javelin along with stronger support for Secure Boot on PC. During the beta alone the system blocked more than one point two million cheat attempts. By the end of the first launch week tens of thousands of cheaters were removed from the game.

Since then the total number of blocked cheat attempts has passed two point three million. Developers say they have tracked more than one hundred ninety known cheat programs, hardware vendors, and resellers. Out of all those sources, one hundred eighty three have either admitted that their cheats were detected, received warnings, gone offline, or stopped supporting Battlefield 6 entirely.

The studio is clear that cheating will never be completely gone. Cheat makers always try to evolve and find new ways to break the system. But for now Battlefield 6 is one of the few modern shooters where players can join a match and feel confident they are competing against real people and not hackers.

Whether this impressive record can be maintained as the game grows is still uncertain. But early results show what a strong anti cheat system and fast developer response can achieve.
