Anti-Cheat Update
To combat cheating, a new detection model was launched in early October to identify possible third-party bots. Within two weeks, over 1,000 bot accounts were banned, mostly on Windows PC (71%) and Nintendo Switch (21%).
Detected bot infection rates increased after the rollout, confirming the new system's effectiveness, then declined as bans were enforced.
