Riot Games Adds On-Demand Session Option to Vanguard Anti-Cheat for Sufficiently Secured PCs

Riot Games is updating its Vanguard anti-cheat software to include an on-demand session mode, allowing it to run only when a game is actively launched rather than persistently in the background. The feature is restricted to PCs that meet certain security conditions, which Riot describes as being 'sufficiently secured.' Both Japanese and English sources confirmed the same core details about the update.
