Valve has announced a new policy for Steam that will require developers to fully disclose the use of kernel-level anti-cheat software on their game's store pages. This is in response to player requests for more transparency around anti-cheat measures used in games.
The disclosure will be mandatory for games using kernel-level anti-cheat, while it will be optional for games using only client-side or server-side anti-cheat.
Valve also noted that some older games may not properly remove anti-cheat software when uninstalled, and this information will also be disclosed.
This change is expected to help Steam Deck and Linux desktop users identify games that may not be compatible with their gaming systems due to the use of kernel-level anti-cheat.
