Activision Says Black Ops 7 Beta Hit Nearly 99% Cheater-Free Matches by Day 5

Activision credits stricter PC security checks for curbing cheats during testing.

Overview

  • Team Ricochet reported 97.5% clean matches on day one, rising to 98.8% by day five of the beta.
  • Activision said roughly 97% of detected offenders were banned within 30 minutes of play.
  • TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot requirements on PC were cited as key to blocking many cheating attempts before matches began.
  • The team said many accounts seen in circulating clips had already been actioned and that most cheaters never reached a lobby.
  • Ricochet will keep learning post-beta, with full protections slated for the November 14 launch on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
