ARC Raiders Continues to Crack Down on Cheaters

Despite its success – including winning Best Multiplayer Game at the 2025 Game Awards and selling over 12 million copies – the popular shooter ARC Raiders has been plagued by cheaters. As a live-service game with a large player base, it was inevitable that hackers would try to spoil the experience for legitimate players. After a surge in cheating over the Christmas holidays, Embark Studios announced plans in early January to combat the issue. They promised to update the game’s rules and improve cheat detection. Now, it seems they’ve implemented another change that players will appreciate.
