Anti-Cheat Improvements
In October, a new detection model was introduced to combat cheaters by identifying third-party bots.
Over 1,000 bot accounts were banned within two weeks, with bans mostly occurring on Windows PC (71%) and Nintendo Switch (21%). Bot detection peaked after the update and then declined as accounts were removed.
This progress shows the new system's effectiveness in maintaining fair gameplay.
