Last year, it became known that EpiXR had added level-skip cheat codes to some of its games that instantly unlocked all of a game's achievements. Now, Xbox has stepped in...

, made players aware of cheat codes for its games that allowed players to skip through levels, beat the game, and unlock all achievements and Gamerscore in just a few minutes. Now, Xbox has stepped in and has told EpiXR to remove these cheats codes or presumably face punishment.Reports started to surface yesterday when updates began rolling out for various EpiXR games, such as Aery - Vikings and Paper Flight - Super Speed Dash.

"We had to remove the cheat code from all of the Xbox games as we are not supposed to have cheat codes like this in the games," EpiXR Games' CEO Tim Bachmann told TrueAchievements."We received a complaint from the Xbox team about it and are required to update the games. "This means that these cheat codes won't be available in the future anymore as we do not want to get in trouble."

Nearly all of EpiXR's games were short and easy completions to begin with, only requiring a couple of hours to grab a full 1,000G, so it was strange to see the developer add these cheats or at least make players aware of them if they already existed, last year.

Why does gamerscore matter? Genuinely curious, I never paid attention to mine

Isn't there systems/programs in place in most games that detect if built-in cheats were used and disables getting achievements for that one save file?

Now they need to do overinflated gamerscore games.

Damn all the people who hit 1 mill this past year with a 1.2 ratio punching the air right now lolol

Can Xbox step in and force developers to patch broken/discontinued achievements first?

Good. Hope this is a sign of things to come

Meanwhile Diablo 3 achievements are still broken. Hopefully one day when they’re under the same company they might fix them

This is good
