Players in the Valorant closed console beta are getting banned for using mouse and keyboard with the help of XIM adapters. Riot Games' anti-cheat software automatically detects and bans anyone trying to gain an unfair advantage by using a mouse and keyboard in a controller-only environment. A video shared on X showed a cheater being caught and banned during a console Valorant match, demonstrating the effectiveness of the anti-cheat system. The use of XIM adapters allows players to exploit aim assist features meant for controllers, giving them an edge in competitive gaming. Riot Games is actively monitoring and cracking down on cheaters, ensuring a fair playing field for all participants in the Valorant console beta. As the beta continues, players are reminded to adhere to the rules and play fair to avoid being banned.
