We include games with documented kernel drivers (Easy Anti-Cheat, BattlEye, Vanguard, Ricochet, EA AntiCheat, XIGNCODE3, GameGuard, etc.) plus opt-in ESEA and FaceIT clients. Excluded: user-mode-only systems like Valve VAC and most Blizzard Warden titles — Counter-Strike 2 official matchmaking is not here. Publishers sometimes switch vendors; an older row may reflect a past build.
How popular is each anti-cheat?
Easy Anti-Cheat (Epic) leads the dataset with 182 titles — Fortnite, Apex Legends, Fall Guys, and many Unreal Engine multiplayer games. BattlEye (48 games) and PunkBuster (52 games, mostly legacy Battlefield and America’s Army entries) cover another large share.

By anti-cheat vendor
Easy Anti-Cheat and BattlEye
Easy Anti-Cheat is the default for Epic-owned titles and a large slice of UE multiplayer. BattlEye remains common in survival shooters and tactical games (PUBG, Rainbow Six Siege, Destiny 2, DayZ). Both load kernel components when the game runs; neither is tied to a single publisher.
Riot Vanguard, Ricochet, and EA AntiCheat
Proprietary drivers draw the most scrutiny because one company controls updates and boot behavior:
- Vanguard — 3 Riot titles (Valorant, League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics). Boot-time driver on Windows; see Vanguard controversies in our explainer.
- Ricochet — 6 Activision Call of Duty entries including Warzone.
- EA AntiCheat — 9 EA sports and shooter titles; required for online modes on affected PC releases.
PunkBuster
PunkBuster (52 games) dominated early Battlefield era PC play. Few new releases adopt it; most rows are legacy or long-tail titles still bundled with older builds.
Korean market: GameGuard and XIGNCODE3
nProtect GameGuard (16 confirmed here; vendor claims hundreds more) and XIGNCODE3 (48 games) remain common in Korean MMOs and some Asian-developed online games.
Lesser-known and regional solutions
Anti-Cheat Expert (NetEase, 6 titles), EQU8 (5 games), and mhyprot2 (4 games — infamously abused as a bring-your-own-vulnerable-driver attack surface in 2022) account for most of the remaining entries. Blizzard’s Defense Matrix on Overwatch 2 is the main proprietary outlier outside the big third-party vendors.
Third-party matchmaking (ESEA, FaceIT)
ESEA and FaceIT ship their own kernel clients for subscribed competitive matchmaking on games like Counter-Strike. You choose to install them; they are not the developer’s default anti-cheat. CS2 itself uses VAC for official matchmaking — kernel access here is opt-in via those platforms.
Before you install
- Read what kernel-level anti-cheat is — Ring 0 access, driver conflicts, and recent Vanguard/IOMMU news.
- Search this table for every game in your library — one boot driver can affect the whole system.
- Use official uninstallers when you stop playing a title; kernel services often persist after the game is deleted.
