Ubisoft's Anti-Cheating Measures Lead to Significant Decline in Rainbow Six Siege Hackers

Ubisoft's MouseTrap system, designed to detect cheaters in Rainbow Six Siege, has resulted in a "major reduction" of over 70% in the number of mouse and keyboard users on consoles. The system has surpassed expectations, with a 78% reduction in total spoofers detected. Cheaters have been forced to turn off devices like XIM, Cronus Zen, and ReaSnow S1 due to the system's impact. However, Ubisoft acknowledges the ongoing challenge of dealing with third-party cheating hardware and vows to continue monitoring and updating the system to ensure fair gameplay for console players.

Bungie takes action against third-party peripheral cheating in Destiny 2.

Bungie has announced that it will start monitoring, warning, and banning Destiny 2 players who use controller-spoofing XIM hardware or similar to cheat. The company's policy is drawing a clear line on what won’t be allowed, including the use of third-party mouse and keyboard interfaces that emulate a controller input, enabling users to reap the benefits of aim assist, but with the added precision and movement abilities of a keyboard and mouse. Bungie will be evaluating all gameplay for violations, covering not just PvP deathmatch-style gameplay but also Destiny 2’s significant cooperative PvE content.

Activision's Latest Measures Against Cheating in Call of Duty.

Activision's Call of Duty Ricochet anti-cheat team has introduced new measures to reduce unfair play, including a system to detect third-party XIM-type devices and a replay investigation tool. Cheaters will face measures ranging from mitigations up to permabans across all Call of Duty titles. The company has also revealed new in-game mitigations, such as Damage Shield, Disarm, and Cloak. Activision's anti-cheat measures implemented in 2021 led to a "significant" drop in cheaters, but the company expects players to create new ways to get around existing measures.
