According to reports, if a cheater is detected during any match, VAC Live will cancel the match with immediate effect. However, since the game is still in its beta phase, further developments are expected to take place both within the game and in anti-cheat measures.The beta version was released to a limited number of people last week. The full game's release date is yet to be announced as of this writing, but it's not expected to be out before Summer 2023.
