EA published Battlefield 6‘s April anti-cheat metrics on June 25, 2026, and the numbers show cheating pressure climbing as the month wore on.
April covered the later half of Season 2, while the team kept working on new detections and features for Season 3. EA said it also pushed targeted detections against specific cheats once the Match Infection Rate, or MIR, neared 5%.
EA said MIR opened April at 2.39%, climbed to 4.95% on April 19, and ended the month at 4.68%. During that same stretch, Javelin Anti-Cheat blocked 168,568 attempts to cheat or tamper with the game before they could affect matches.
The publisher also said it was tracking 99 active cheat-related programs, hardware solutions, vendors, resellers, and associated communities. Of those, 91 were seeing feature failures, detection notices, downtime, or had gone offline entirely, which EA put at 91%.
