Activision has announced a series of updates to its Ricochet anti-cheat platform in preparation for the launch of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 beta. The update, announced on August 14, 2026, aims to bolster security measures as the game prepares for its August 21 release date.
Updates to Anti-Cheat Enforcement
Beyond technical updates to the software itself, Activision confirmed that it has increased the size of the Ricochet team in recent months. This expansion involves bringing on new experts tasked with improving enforcement and developing new detection systems. The company also stated that it plans to hire additional anti-cheat developers in the near future to continue these efforts.
These changes are designed to address the ongoing battle against cheat makers within the Call of Duty series. For players, this signifies a concentrated effort by the publisher to mitigate unauthorized software interference during the upcoming beta period and beyond.
