Whether you're gaming on a Linux system running SteamOS, a PC gaming distro, or a Windows on Arm device, a major stumbling block in recent years has been the lack of anti-cheat support. Beyond locking players out of some of the most popular titles, the main reason for the omission is that these anti-cheat tools run at the system or kernel level.
With the first RTX Spark laptops on track for later this year, powered by NVIDIA's first consumer-facing SoC that combines an Arm-based 20-core Grace CPU with integrated RTX Blackwell graphics, the company is working with developers and publishers to ensure anti-cheat support is there on day one.
As the first Windows on Arm devices with GeForce RTX graphics, NVIDIA has announced that RTX Spark will launch with support for EA's kernel-level anti-cheat tool called Javelin. Since Javelin anti-cheat is required for games like Battlefield 6 and EA Sports FC 26, its support is a welcome addition for those looking to use their RTX Spark devices for PC gaming.
As part of its pre-Gamescom 2026 media presentation, NVIDIA also showcased an image of an RTX Spark laptop with Apex Legends on the screen, confirming that the new devices will also support the popular Easy Anti-Cheat ("EAC") software. Easy Anti-Cheat is used in several popular games, including Fortnite, Sea of Thieves, and Elden Ring. As part of its RTX Spark presentation, NVIDIA said its goal for PC gaming is a seamless day-one experience.
