Battlefield 6 Is Almost Cheater-Free, Studio Claims

"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--"

"The studio also reports that 92.5% of players had adopted Secure Boot by the end of the beta, and now only 1.5% of PC players are unable to activate Secure Boot. The secret to its success against cheaters, the report says, is monitoring the creators and distributors of cheat programs, as well as the communities around them. Of 190 such entities being monitored, Battlefield Studios says 183 of them "have announced feature failures, detection notices, downtime, and/or taken their cheats offline entirely.""

Battlefield Studios' Match Infection Rate (MIR) measures the likelihood that at least one cheater impacted match results; MIR was about 2% in the week after launch and has remained mostly between 2% and 3% in the month since launch, implying roughly 98% of matches were cheat-free. EA's Javelin Anticheat blocked more than 2.39 million cheat attempts since release. During the open beta MIR fell from almost 7% to 2% as Secure Boot adoption rose to 92.5%; only 1.5% of PC players now cannot activate Secure Boot. Monitoring of 190 cheat creators/distributors led to 183 taking action or suffering disruptions.
