Electronic Arts has announced that a major update for Battlefield 1 will arrive on October 22, when the game will switch to EA’s own anti-cheat system. This change is part of the company’s ongoing efforts to improve security and make Battlefield 1 safer for players.
Battlefield 1, released in 2016, is a World War I-themed first-person shooter developed by DICE and published by EA. The game features massive multiplayer battles and includes historical locations, weapons and vehicles from the early 20th century. In 2023, EA announced that Battlefield 5, Battlefield 2042, and Battlefield 1 will switch to EA’s own anti-cheat system. While the first two titles have already received this change, Battlefield 1 will soon join the fight against cheaters.
EA is bringing its anti-cheat system to Battlefield 1 on October 22, an important step in the fight against cheating in the game’s massive multiplayer modes. EA said players won’t notice any obvious changes when logging in, but the move gives the team better tools to detect and remove cheaters. The goal is to provide a fair experience for everyone, especially since the game relies heavily on team play and strategy. This update follows similar changes for Battlefield 2042 in the October 2023. and Battlefield 5 in April 2024.
EA anti-cheat is an anti-cheat system running in kernel mode, developed by EA to combat increasingly advanced cheats, especially on PC. Cheat makers focused on Battlefield games and other titles have begun creating programs that burrow deeper into computers, making them harder to detect with regular anti-cheat systems. EA anti-cheat works at the same level, allowing it to detect and block cheaters that would otherwise go unnoticed. By building their own system, EA also gains more control. Unlike using third-party programs, this gives the company the power to directly manage security and privacy.
In response to privacy concerns, EA reassured players that EA Anti-Cheat only works when Battlefield 1 or other EA games that use it are active. The system is designed to specifically detect readers and does not collect personal data, browsing history or unrelated information. EA has also worked with third-party privacy and security experts to ensure that EA Anti-Cheat protects player data and works securely.
EA has also ensured that the system does not slow down the game, and tests conducted by the company have shown that it runs smoothly without affecting performance. EA emphasized that it is committed to maintaining fair play and will continue to improve its efforts to combat cheating in the Battlefield series.
