Providers advertise universal compatibility and the claim needs unpacking, because it is true in one sense and misleading in another. It is true that the identifiers are largely the same everywhere.

are stricter than most game anti-cheats and often require Secure Boot. So the honest statement is: one spoofer can cover the identifiers used by most games. It cannot make every anti-cheat equally approachable, and a provider claiming otherwise is overselling.
Rather than a list that ages badly, here is how to think about any given title. Games where spoofing is generally effective. EAC and BattlEye titles that do not add boot-level requirements: Rust, Escape from Tarkov, DayZ, Apex Legends, Fortnite, Rainbow Six Siege, PUBG. These read the standard identifier set from a driver that starts with the game, which is the case spoofers are built for. Our cheats for Rust and Rainbow Six Siege sit here. Games where it is harder. Anything with boot-time enforcement or TPM attestation. Valorant is the clearest example. The obstacle is not the identifiers but the timing and the platform requirements.

Games where the ban is not really hardware.
Many titles ban the account and merely note the hardware. Spoofing helps a new account avoid instant association, but the account itself is gone regardless.
A Steam or Epic account restriction is unrelated to hardware and no spoofer addresses it. The practical advice is to check current per-game status rather than trusting a static list, because anti-cheats add identifiers and requirements over time and any list published today is a snapshot. A provider that maintains a status page is telling you they retest; one that publishes a list of ninety supported games and never changes it is telling you they do not.
Playing several protected titles on one machine introduces problems that do not exist with one game. Do not leave a cheat loader installed while playing a stricter title. Vanguard runs from boot and inspects drivers. A loader present for a completely different game is exactly what it looks for, and it does not care that you were not cheating in Valorant. Be consistent about spoofing. Playing game A spoofed and game B unspoofed on the same machine means the anti-cheats between them have seen both fingerprints from one system. If they share intelligence — and BattlEye protects many titles — that is a link you created yourself. Watch the Secure Boot trap. Disabling it for a spoofer means Vangua

Vanguard runs from boot and inspects drivers. A loader present for a completely different game is exactly what it looks for, and it does not care that you were not cheating in Valorant.
Playing game A spoofed and game B unspoofed on the same machine means the anti-cheats between them have seen both fingerprints from one system. If they share intelligence — and BattlEye protects many titles — that is a link you created yourself.
Disabling it for a spoofer means Vanguard titles will not start. Enabling it means some spoofer builds will not load. Decide which games matter and configure once rather than toggling.
Separate accounts per game where you can.
A ban in one title attached to a shared account can affect others, particularly on publisher platforms like Ubisoft Connect.
Do not assume provider quality transfers.
A provider excellent against EAC may be poor against Vanguard, because they are genuinely different problems. The simplest safe arrangement, if you play both cheated and competitive titles, is to keep them on separate machines or at minimum separate Windows installations. That sounds excessive until you weigh it against a ban on an account with years of purchases attached.
