EA and its development studios have implemented the next phase of Battlefield 6‘s attempt to curb cheating, with a new compliance warning for those who are going against the game’s new requirements. Cheating isn’t anything new for online games, especially the first-person shooter genre, though how studios handle dealing with them seems to vary. Battlefield 6 has taken multiple steps to clean up its player base with the latest update finally arriving.
It’s been a long and winding road for Battlefield 6 so far, with the first-person shooter experiencing a massive launch where it quickly became one of the biggest games of 2025. Unfortunately, things took a turn when fan frustrations mounted over a series of missteps, from accusations of AI-generated art, technical issues with the game, and other problems. After Battlefield 6 delayed Season 2, things have slowly begun to turn in a more positive direction, thanks in large part to major updates and an infusion of well-received content. EA continues to chip away at cheaters, with Season 3 adding some of the biggest safeguards the game has seen yet.
Battlefield 6 Adds Compliance Warning
As part of the Season 3 Anti-Cheat updates, EA has launched the latest piece of its efforts with the TPM 2.0 Compliance Warning. According to a new post on social media, this is an in-game warning that will appear for players who are deemed to be using systems that aren’t compliant with the Trusted Platform Module 2.0 requirements. EA indicates that this is expected to impact around 1% of the community and, for now, it’s just a warning with suggestions on how to fix the issue. Impacted players will still be able to play Battlefield 6 for now, though it will soon become a required anti-cheat method.

While Battlefield 6 launched with EA’s proprietary anti-cheat system, the development teams have continued to improve and iterate on the protection. EA continues to keep players updated with monthly metric data as well as other improvements the security team is making to ensure fair play. At the end of May, EA announced the enforcement of full TPM 2.0 compliance to target those who use the “techniques maliciously to circumvent anticheat checks and requirements.”

Season 4 of Battlefield 6 could be the turning point for this warning, as the new update is rapidly approaching on July 21. In terms of content, Season 4 appears to be focusing on the naval side of the game by introducing two new maps. The first, Tsuru Reef, is going to be a massive open sandbox map that is reportedly bigger than Railway to Golmud. Longtime franchise fans will likely be anticipating Wake Island, a modernized version of the classic Battlefield map with added attack boats, aircraft carriers, and a new wave system powering the water.

While the game has continued to improve itself over time, it hasn’t been immune to controversies. In fact, at the start of July, Battlefield 6 managed to upset many of its players. An in-game message suddenly appeared indicating that Battlefield 6‘s XP Boosters were now counting down in-game and not in real time. While the change excited fans, EA quickly clarified that the message was sent accidentally and that the boosters still counted down in real-time as they always have. Fans lamented the accidental message, with many calling for a change so that XP Boosters were not being wasted while sitting in menus and loading screens.
