Activision has revealed in a post on X that it has been coming down hard on Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 cheaters following the launch of the early access open beta.
Cheaters were expected. But our upgraded systems caught them faster than ever, powered by strengthened TPM 2.0 checks and automated systems helping to eliminate a large number of attempts to cheat. Those who did manage to slip through didn’t last long. Most never made it into a match. You may have seen clips of cheaters in the Black Ops 7 Beta. We had already actioned on most of those accounts before they hit social media. We’re watching closely, acting in real time, and learning from every attempt.

The post addd that “97% of cheaters were stopped within 30 minutes of their first sign-in, with less than 1% of cheating attempts managing to get into a match. Those that did managed to get in were banned in minutes anyway. As reported last week, the Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Early Access Beta didn’t exactly set Steam and Twitch on fire, recording disappointing numbers when compared to Battlefield 6, which its easily its biggest rival for the year.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is scheduled for release on November 14, 2025 for PS5, PS4, PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One.
