Battlefield 6 ended July with a 4.76% Match Infection Rate after the revised measurement climbed to 5.74% between July 13 and July 15. EA detailed the figures in its July Steam update, which also marked the first monthly report using the updated calculation.
Match Infection Rate, or MIR, measures the share of matches negatively affected by at least one suspected cheater. The figure can include reported players who have not generated enough evidence for enforcement, so it is not the same as the number of accounts banned.
EA’s revised MIR started July at 4.62%
The new calculation changed how EA viewed June’s closing figure. The previous method put June at 6.59%, but the revised definition brought that result down to 4.62% after filtering out highly skilled players who received repeated reports without triggering other anti-cheat signals or failing manual review. Vehicle-focused players were a particular source of false reports.
July began at the revised 4.62% rate, then reached 5.74% for three days in the middle of the month. MIR fell to 4.86% on July 20 before moving up and down during the final stretch, closing at 4.76%. The month covered the end of Season 3, Battlefield 6’s first Ranked season, and the start of Season 4.
EA outlined the reasoning behind the revised calculation in its Season 4 anti-cheat explanation. The publisher said its teams found that the earlier increase did not match changes in known cheating groups, tools, or communities, and traced part of the rise to legitimate players being reported at high rates.
Javelin blocked 277,649 attempts in July
EA Javelin Anti-Cheat prevented 277,649 attempts to cheat or tamper with Battlefield 6 before they could affect matches. EA was also tracking 104 cheat-related programs, hardware solutions, vendors, resellers, and associated communities, down by 8 from the previous figure.
Of those 104 tracked entities, 100 were showing feature failures, detection notices, downtime, or signs that their cheats had gone offline. That represented 96.15% of the total and was 7 fewer than the prior count.
TPM 2.0 enforcement is now active as of August 31. Players dealing with compatibility or setup problems can use EA’s TPM 2.0 support guide for troubleshooting steps.
July’s figures show a lower closing rate under the revised method, but cheating remains a moving target as Ranked play and new anti-cheat checks continue to affect the numbers. Share your thoughts in the comments, and follow us on X, Bluesky, YouTube, Instagram, Steam, and Telegram.
