Brazilian court orders EA to restore Battlefield 6 account

A Brazilian court has voided two bans against Battlefield 6 player Rychadv and ordered EA Swiss Sàrl, Electronic Arts’ Swiss unit, to preserve his access to the account, game progress, licenses and purchased content.

The bans were issued July 28 and Aug. 30, 2026. The case was heard by a Juizado Especial Cível, a Brazilian court that handles simpler civil disputes. Rychadv, who works as a lawyer, represented himself.

He returned to Battlefield 6 after a long break to check its fourth season and found a message saying his account had been blocked. He denied using cheats or exploits and rejected allegations that he had violated the game’s chat rules.

EA initially responded to his appeal with an ellipsis, according to Rychadv. The company later identified cheating as the reason for the ban. He submitted Windows data that he said showed no prohibited software or devices on his computer.

EA took part in the case and filed an objection. Rychadv maintains that the company provided no evidence supporting its allegations.

“Without justification. Without evidence. Nothing. Literally nothing,” he wrote after the ruling.

Rychadv has not released the case number or court documents. He also has not disclosed the compensation amount or any penalty imposed on EA. He reported that EA ultimately paid about four times the price of the game. The court is expected to set a daily fine later if the company fails to comply with the order.

The player reported that the ban had been lifted and that his account was operating normally. The ruling allows EA to block the account again if it can later prove a rules violation.

“I wish they would prove it,” Rychadv wrote in response to the cheating allegations.

EA has not publicly commented on the case. Battlefield 6 uses EA’s Javelin anti-cheat system. The company says it issues bans when it has evidence of rule violations and allows players to challenge penalties through their ban history.
