The team behind Battlefield 6 is implementing stringent measures to address cheating on PC, including Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 mandates. Meanwhile, console platforms are also grappling with similar challenges. In a recent discussion with Push Square, Ripple Effect’s Technical Director, Christian Buhl, highlighted collaborative efforts with Sony and Microsoft to identify third-party devices like Cronus Zen on next-gen consoles.

“It’s disappointing to see cheating infiltrate console gaming through tools like Cronus Zen. We’ve collaborated closely with PlayStation and Xbox to enhance our detection systems, including built-in macro monitoring,” Buhl explained. “For PC, features like Secure Boot are part of our strategy to curb persistent cheating. On consoles, we’re equally committed to maintaining a balanced and fair environment for all Battlefield 6 players.”

Cronus Zen devices can mimic controller inputs while enabling unauthorized scripts, creating avenues for unfair advantages. Such exploits threaten to undermine the gameplay experience when Battlefield 6 releases on October 10. The studio is optimistic that its alliances with console manufacturers will bolster anti-cheat measures.

Additionally, Ripple Effect has clarified that console users will retain the option to disable cross-platform matchmaking with PC gamers, who historically face higher cheating risks.
