Marvel Rivals to Impose Bans on Console Players Using Mouse and Keyboard Adapters
The developers of Marvel Rivals have announced strict measures against console players using third-party input devices to avoid penalties.
The developers of Marvel Rivals aim to prevent console players from exploiting unfair advantages by banning the use of keyboard and mouse adapters.
In a recent announcement on their Steam page, NetEase Games stated, “We believe that gaining an unjust advantage through such methods significantly impacts the gaming experience for our players. Therefore, whether on PC or console, we will take measures to vanquish this nefarious behavior.”
Translation: We think acquiring an unfair advantage through such means greatly affects our players’ gaming experience. Thus, we will take steps to eliminate this malicious conduct, whether on PC or console.
The studio elaborated that penalties for players found using these adapters could result in temporary or permanent bans, removal from leaderboards, or other punitive actions. Console gamers can face potential penalties despite the availability of aim assist features.
With the rise of input emulators such as XIM, Cronus Zen, and others, NetEase emphasizes its commitment to cheating prevention, suggesting that it utilizes both high-tech detection methods and human moderators to identify offenders. The company encourages players to utilize the built-in replay tool in Marvel Rivals to report suspected cheating behavior effectively.
