A member SPEAR, the anti-cheat team for Battlefield 6, has revealed that the game’s early access Open Beta period saw more than 300,000 cheat attempts stopped in their tracks.
Speaking on the official Battlefield 6 EA forum, the individual, known only by the alias ‘AC,’ revealed that the anti-cheat system Javelin “prevented 333,000 attempts to cheat or tamper with anti-cheat controls.” Furthermore, players flagged up 44,000 potential cheating attempts on August 7, with the following day logging at least 60,000 more unscrupulous activities.
Since Open Beta Early Access’s launch, Javelin has prevented 330,000 attempts to cheat or tamper with anti-cheat controls, and [players have] reported 44,000 instances of potential cheaters during day one and another 60,000 so far today. We are already using these with our own Gameplay Integrity team to add and improve our detections for Battlefield 6. They are also working with the Battlefield Positive Play team, to actively remove those reported we confirm to be cheaters.

As previously announced by EA, the Battlefield 6 Open Beta (or to be more precise, the first weekend of the beta) was the biggest in the series’ entire history, and even before it went live there were thousands of people waiting in queue. The next phase of the beta will kick off this weekend.
In related news, Mike Ybarra, the former president of Blizzard Entertainment, has said he feels Battlefield 6 will boot stomp this year’s Call of Duty, with Activision forced to improve its own franchise as a result. Battlefield 6 launches on October 10, 2025 for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
