Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Reveals Number of Banned Cheaters Since Ranked Launch
Treyarch has revealed exactly how many Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 cheaters have been banned from the game after the introduction of Ranked Play mode. The number will come as great news to legitimate Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players, even if there’s still work to be done for Treyarch.
It’s no secret that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has a frustrating cheating problem. The problem got worse when Treyarch released the Ranked mode for Black Ops 6, with several high-profile Call of Duty players calling out the developer during this time. Steps have been made to improve the situation, and from Season 2, console players will be able to disable cross-play in Black Ops 6‘s Ranked Play mode. This should go some way to tackling the cheating issue for many players, so let’s see how it shakes out.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Has Banned 136,000 Cheaters Since Ranked Launch
As part of the community update, Treyarch also outlined more future plans to upgrade Call of Duty: Black Ops 6‘s anti-cheat. Season 2 will see “New and improved client and server-side detections and systems” as well as a “New tampering detection system.” Looking further to Season 3 and beyond, Treyarch also plans to implement “A multitude of new tech including a brand-new system to authenticate legit players and target cheaters,” although it also claims that “it’s important we don’t provide too many details that could give cheat developers a peek behind the curtain.”
Season 2 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is set to launch on January 28, providing an injection of new content into the popular FPS. Much has been made of the game’s drop in player count in recent weeks, although hopefully, the release of Season 2 will get players excited about the game again. Presumably, Black Ops 6 will follow the same seasonal content model as previous releases, meaning there’s plenty more to come throughout 2025.
