The Battlefield 6 Open Beta early access went live yesterday, and the game already has cheaters running around. In a recent video posted by content creator @ItsHapa on X, a cheater can be seen showing their point of view in the game. The post's caption reads:

The Open Beta will go live for everyone on August 9, 2025, and there will also be a Weekend 2 for the BF6 Beta before the game fully releases in October 2025. However, the presence of cheaters in the game within a day of early access is surely cause for concern. Read on to learn more about the situation.

Does Battlefield 6 have anti-cheat?

As revealed earlier by EA, Battlefield 6 has kernel-level anti-cheat, and the game also requires players to Secure Boot their PC. The latest "Javelin" anti-cheat system is supposedly a better version of what was used in previous BF titles.

Battlefield has always had issues with cheaters. In older titles, you might find some even if you play now. Given that the situation with cheaters is pretty serious, EA has forced players to Secure Boot their PC with TPM 2.0. However, the beta seems to have cheaters even then.

The only good thing about players finding cheaters in the game right now is that BF6 is still in its beta stage, which means EA will have enough time to strengthen the anti-cheat before the game launches on October 10, 2025.

Previously, we've seen Call of Duty suffer from a cheater problem that resulted in a massive decline in its player base. Battlefield 6's Open Beta early access is a massive success, as more than 350,000 players joined the game, which is the most in the franchise's history. We can only hope that the situation will improve as soon as possible.
