Epic Games Brings Easy Anti-Cheat to Windows 11 on Arm

Epic Games has made its Easy Anti-Cheat system compatible with Windows 11 on Arm Copilot+ PCs using the Qualcomm Snapdragon X family of chipsets.

“This release adds compatibility with Windows on Arm for the Anti-Cheat Interface, enabling secure multiplayer experiences on Arm-based Windows 11 devices,” the Epic Developer website explains. “To make anti-cheat in your game compatible with Windows-on-Arm, you must update the anti-cheat bootstrapper and use the Windows-on-Arm-compatible anti-cheat client module. To do this, update to the latest version of the Windows anti-cheat client module.”

Epic Games and Qualcomm announced that they were working to bring Easy Anti-Cheat back in March, so this is a pretty quick turnaround. At the time, the companies said that this change would help Epic Games bring its hit game Fortnite to Windows 11 on Arm. Today, they said those plans are on track.

“Fortnite will be among the first titles to take advantage of this compatibility, bringing one of the world’s most popular games to Snapdragon-powered laptops,” a Qualcomm representative told me.

The newest version of Epic Games’ Easy Anti-Cheat system also supports the Nintendo Switch 2.
