It's 11 years old and Rocket League has decided it's had it up to here with cheating. In a post (actually an "article," which I guess the everything app has now) on X, the game's official account announced that, come April, Rocket League will be implementing Easy Anti-Cheat.
"Adding Easy Anti-Cheat elevates our ability to detect and ban cheaters in real time, and is part of a broader effort that includes additional bot detection methods, and DDoS attack prevention," said Psyonix.
This will, alas, bust any mods you're using, but as with other EAC-using games like Halo: The Master Chief Collection, you'll at least have an option to turn the tech off, though that will kill your ability to queue for online matches, private matches, and tournaments. "When Easy Anti-Cheat is turned off, you can run mods while playing offline matches, training, LAN matches, and viewing Replays while using custom video editing tools," said Psyonix.
