Arc Raiders publisher builds AI anti-cheat with permanent bans

Original: Arc Raiders publisher developing AI anti-cheat stack in escalating war with cheaters — game license blacklisting and zero-second-chance permabans now standard

The publisher of extraction shooter Arc Raiders is developing an AI-powered anti-cheat system as it intensifies its crackdown on cheating. The company says new measures include blacklisting players' game licenses at the hardware level and issuing permanent bans with no second chances, making penalties stricter than the industry norm of timed or appealable suspensions.

Why now: Cheating in popular multiplayer shooters is a persistent player frustration, and a publisher openly adopting AI detection and permanent hardware bans is a notable escalation.
