Battleye, the new anti-cheat system for Destiny 2, has been added into the game and Bungie says that it could result in a reduction in framerates and performance for some players.
As part of the game's 3.3.0 update, Bungie announced in a blog post that it had added its anti-cheat software Battleye to Destiny 2 in order to boost security and enable the developer to detect more active cheats within the game.
Bungie admits that Battleye isn't a "silver bullet" that will wipe out cheaters in the game altogether but instead "another step in [its] strategy to combat cheats and improve [its] detection and banning methods." The developer notes that the anti-cheat system requires additional system resources in order to run and that players may "see some reduction in frames and performance after Update 3.3.0 goes live."
In addition to potentially experiencing drops in framerate during gameplay, players may also encounter increased start-up times when booting up Destiny 2. For now, Bungie is testing how Battleye performs at scale in the live game while the developer ensures accuracy, meaning that the system won't be implementing automatic bans for the time being. However, the studio says that it hopes to allow the anti-cheat to automatically issue bans without a manual review before the game's next Trials of Osiris event launches on September 10.
In addition to adding further components to the game's in-house anti-cheat system, Bungie has also been attempting to tackle cheaters in the real world. In January, we wrote about a lawsuit being filed by Riot and Bungie against a cheat-making company alleged to have produced software hacks for Valorant and Destiny 2. In the recent blog post, Bungie said that it will continue to use similar strategies to combat cheating in the game before it invited other developers to join the lawsuits in order to make them more impactful.
It's been a hectic week for Destiny 2 which not only launched into its new Season of the Lost update but also announced details surrounding the game's upcoming Witch Queen expansion. The expansion, which is due out on February 22, across Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, and PC.
