BattlEye is a proprietary anti-cheat software designed to detect players that hack or abusively use exploits in an online game. It was initially released as a third-party anti-cheat for Battlefield Vietnam in 2004 and has since been officially implemented in numerous video games, primarily shooter games such as PUBG: Battlegrounds, Arma 3, Destiny 2, and DayZ.[3][4]
BattlEye is developed by German company BattlEye Innovations e. K., headquartered in Reutlingen.
BattlEye supports Valve Corporation's Proton compatibility layer and is usable on the Steam Deck.[5][6]
