Arc Raiders builds AI-powered anti-cheat after player frustration

Arc Raiders' publisher Embark Studios is training in-house AI models to catch cheaters, expanding beyond existing tools like Denuvo and Anybrain. Facing persistent cheating and player frustration, they've revealed stricter measures, including permanent bans—even at the hardware level—for first offenders. Embark says they're targeting content creators caught cheating, but claim they won't ban just on suspicion.

• Embark trains in-house machine learning models for detection
• Existing systems include Denuvo and Anybrain AI
• Permanent hardware bans now possible after one offense
• Planned adoption of Elytra anti-cheat
• Content creators posting cheats are targeted for bans
