Fall Guys adds anti-cheat measures "within weeks"

I only play Fall Guys once every few days and usually only play one or two matches at a time, but I still see tons of cheaters in the Mediatonic battle royale. I think 1 out of 4 matches I play has cheaters in it, and that's honestly one of the reasons I don't play much. I'm not very good at Fall Guys anyway, so I'd hate even more to make it to the final round and see a cheating bean snatch the crown.

But it looks like help is finally coming:

If Fortnite is the one using it, it's Easy Anti Cheat, which is also used by Apex Legends, Rust and many other games. I don't expect any anti-cheat service to completely eliminate cheaters as it doesn't seem to be able to do that, but anything that can help is welcome at this point, especially since there is no in-game reporting system.

Mediatonic has previously said they detect cheaters and boot them before they finish a match, but I have seen no evidence of that happening. If I see a cheetah in round 1, unless I screw up and get eliminated, it stays there until the end of the match. Just a few days ago, I jumped into a match and saw a psychic player speeding through a door dash, then a few rounds later he started flying and bouncing to avoid the barrier at a block party. even in an easygoing competitive game like Fall Guys, cheating is really A reminder that it's really, really hard.
