So how would you expect console anti-cheat to work, given that modern consoles are pretty securely locked down and don't require the rootkit approach?

I would be surprised if they aren't using heuristics on input.

Denuvo, one of the primary cross-platform anti-cheat systems, deals with ensuring the integrity of offline progress, obfuscation and encryption to prevent data mining, and emulator prevention. In their own words:

> Protect sensitive game logic to reduce data mining and detect peripherals that give the cheater an unfair gameplay advantage.

They also have a common list of cheats on the general information page, none of which are really related to Cronus.
