In the conversation, BUHL confirmed that although it will be arduous to guarantee the environment without fraud for people playing with a pool 6 pcs. Battlefield, Ripple Effect and the rest of the BF Studios team have passed to each other to fight fraudsters.
“So we do a lot on the computer side to reduce cheating as much as possible,” said Buhl. “We have the whole team in Battlefield dedicated to anti-cheat, including engineers, analysts who review things and prohibiting players, and wondering what the latest codes are. We have another dedicated team in EA on Anti-Cheat, with whom we closely cooperate.”
BUHL also emphasizes the fresh Anti-Cheat Battlefield 6, javelin and also Safe startup divisionas other essential elements in their strategy. Despite this, when scammers still work amok on the most popular games for many players on the market, Ripple Effect knows that some will slide through cracks, especially on PC.
“Now we can never win with cheaters, right?” Buhl added. “Fraudsters will always be there. This is an endless game for cats and mice. I can’t promise that there will be no cheaters if you play with players on the PC. It is simply not possible, but I can say that we are extremely aggressive. We consider this to be a key importance for success-gray success.”
Battlefield 6 has the release date of October 10, 2025 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X and S, but fraudsters were able to infiltrate the servers months earlier. EA took open periods of beta throughout August, allowing players to get the taste of Battlefield Experience BF Studios for several years. He also saw the players came face to face with cheaters Despite the efforts of the programmers’ team, with information that EA prevented 330,000 fraud attempts until August 8, just a day after starting the first beta access.
Nickerson said Crossplay would be turned on by default when the player first loads into Battlefield 6, something that players should know if they are particularly worried about meeting the PC cheaters. Console users who turn off the crosser will limit their pools to the PlayStation and Xbox community, but the Ripple effect hopes that this will not happen.
“You don’t want to play the game and you feel that a group of people on the other side is cheating,” Buhl added. “I hope that the console players feel certain enough what we are doing to cheat on the computer side, that they do not feel like they want to play cross only for this reason. If they want, this is an available option for them, but we think that it is very important that on the computer and consoles they will be sure that most people with whom they play or against, we do not cheat, and we put it in a huge amount of.”
