In short: Activision has unleashed the "ban hammer" on thousands of "cheaters" who have tried to gain an unfair advantage during gameplay in Call of Duty: Warzone. The publisher also highlighted several additional steps it has taken to strengthen the platform and facilitate reporting of cheaters by gamers. We definitely see steps in the right direction, but whether the collective efforts will change the situation going forward remains to be seen.
In a statement on the matter, the company reported that over 60,000 accounts have recently been banned, linked to confirmed cases of using "cheat" software in Warzone. With this move, Activision has now permanently banned over 300,000 cheaters since the game's launch.
Call of Duty: Warzone is a free online game of the "Battle royale" type - a genre that has become so popular in recent years. It was introduced in the second season of Modern Warfare and pits up to 150 players against each other in a battle for survival. It is now available for installation as a standalone game that does not require Modern Warfare. As of August 2020, the game has a base of over 75 million active users.
Activision reported that it continues to track cheaters and those who distribute hacking software.
Last summer, it threatened "CxCheats" with legal action, demanding that the platform cease the development and distribution of any hacking software aimed at all products and services related to the Call of Duty franchise.
