Anti-Cheat Update
In early October, a new detection model was launched to help identify third-party bots in the game. Within two weeks, over 1,000 bot accounts were banned, primarily on Windows PC (71%) and Switch (21%).
Detected bot infection rates spiked after the rollout as expected, indicating that the new technology is successfully detecting bots, before gradually decreasing as those accounts were banned.
