Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 came out on Xbox Game Pass and brought with it quite a few cheats. Activision has reported banning 65,000 cheaters.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 finally got its long-awaited release on Xbox Game Pass. But the release was overshadowed by a large wave of cheats, some of which appeared to be on console but were actually on PC. This has prompted Activision to take swift action.

Activision's anti-cheat team, Ricochet, recently banned over 65,000 accounts in just one week. This wave of bans targeted players in both Warzone and Modern Warfare 3. With platforming complicating things, the challenge is greater than ever.

Activision's Ricochet Anti-Cheat team confirmed the ban wave, stating that the accounts in question were involved in cheating and increased activity. The announcement received a variety of responses from players.
