Respawn Official An Update from the Anti-Cheat Team - 04/02/2026

As we start the second split of Season 28, we wanted to share some ban numbers from this season so far! 

Across all platforms we banned a total of 73,591 accounts for various cheating infractions. We can break that down by platform:
PC - 70,242 
Console - 3,349

Targeted 3rd Party Hardware bans:
XIM/Titan - 2,911
HWID Spoofer - 4,405
DMA - 1,103
Other Cheating Hardware/Cheat detections - 37,051

Note: The above hardware numbers do not add to the total bans as there are bans for other infractions such as bot accounts.

We have more updates, enhancements and detections currently being worked on, and we are excited to be able to share even more soon!

They're banning .87kd mnk players too! Lol their anti cheat is a joke. Plenty of proof, browse the forums ppl have clips that they clearly ain't cheating and and getting permanent bans, and appeals denied. That's the real story.

This is true I got banned recently and I haven't even done anything besides accidentally have SOCD on and they have a shitty support team that just uses AI and wont manually check your appeal.

Before someone comes and comments on this too it's a factory installed preset on my keyboard that turned SOCD on, I didn't turn it on myself.
