Vanguard anti-cheat features to be adapted for VALORANT console
As part of Riot Games’ plans to bring VALORANT to PS5 and Xbox, the developer has revealed it’s adapting its in-house anti-cheat system, Vanguard, to maintain the tactical FPS’ competitive integrity on consoles.
Vanguard is Riot Games’ custom anti-cheat software for VALORANT—and, since April, League of Legends, too. Since its implementation in 2020, Vanguard has been instrumental in detecting and preventing cheating, helping to keep VALORANT mostly free from misconduct.
