In response, Respawn Entertainment has released the first in a sequence of security updates aimed at fortifying the battle royale against such incidents. Concerns about the game's security, especially on PC, have risen despite assurances from Easy Anti-Cheat, owned by Epic Games, claiming that their technology was not compromised.
