Cheaters and hackers have been a perennial obstacle in the pursuit of fair and equal multiplayer gameplay that everyone can enjoy. To protect your game from these bad actors, we are now in partnership with EQU8, who provides a lightweight anti-cheat system for online PC games.

EQU8’s client centric anti-cheat system levels up when combined with our comprehensive backend services and telemetry. EQU8 can better protect players by tapping into the rich repository of AccelByte’s platform telemetry. Identify suspicious users by correlating harmful player behavior with platform account indicators of bad intent. Proactively remove malcontents by automating account bans and empowering community managers and customer support with the tools to manage the community. Matchmake cheaters with cheaters by using EQU8 data as an input for matchmaking.

The complete list of our backend services can be found at our website. Any direct inquiry can be sent to hello@accelbyte.io.
