Arc Raiders publisher developing AI anti-cheat stack in escalating war with cheaters

What happened

Cheating on online games is a perennial problem, and it only gets worse the more a title becomes popular, which is why the Arc Raiders developer released an update on its anti-cheat measures. These strict measures are designed to deter players from cheating.

The publisher behind Arc Raiders is now training in-house AI models to detect cheating as the arms race escalates with persistent cheaters. According to Arc Raiders executive producer Aleks , Embody has been working on the issue, and it has deliberately been scant on details to make it harder for cheat engine makers to adapt.

However, this stance has been frustrating some players, which is why the company finally gave some details of what it has been working on behind the scenes. Embody said that it’s already using kernel-level anti-cheat from Denuvo, and that it also detects cheaters using Anybrain’s AI service.
