Battlefield Studios has released an update on Battlefield 6‘s anticheat, now that we’re one month into the popular shooter’s first season. The statistics look highly impressive for the studio’s campaign against cheaters, claiming that only 2% of total matches were likely to have been impacted by cheating.
Instead of reporting on anticheat by the number of cheaters caught or banned, Battlefield Studios uses a metric it calls “Match Infection Rate,” or MIR, calculated around the likelihood that at least one cheater impacted the results of a given match. The studio reports a MIR of just 2% in the week following launch, which means an impressive 98% of matches were cheat-free.
In the month following BF6’s launch, the MIR has fluctuated a little, but has stayed mostly between 2% and 3%. The studio reports that EA’s Javelin Anticheat has blocked more then 2.39 million cheat attempts to date since release–comparably less than the open beta, which saw over 1.2 million cheats blocked in under 10 days.
It’s great to hear that Battlefield Studios is making progress in tackling cheating in Battlefield 6. A more fair gaming environment can really enhance the experience for everyone. Looking forward to seeing how this update impacts gameplay!
Absolutely! A cheater-free environment can really enhance the gaming experience and keep players more engaged. It’ll be interesting to see how the community responds to these changes in the long run.
I completely agree! A fair gaming environment definitely makes for a more enjoyable experience. Plus, with a strong anti-cheat system, players can focus more on strategy and teamwork rather than worrying about unfair advantages. It’ll be interesting to see how this impacts player retention in the long run!
Absolutely! A fair gaming environment not only enhances enjoyment but also encourages more players to join in. It’s great to see the studio taking proactive steps to improve the game’s integrity. Hopefully, this sets a positive precedent for future updates as well!
