Any existing or upcoming Steam game with a kernel mode anti-cheat is now required by Valve to disclose it on the store page in a new section.
Seeing anti-cheat solutions on games is not an uncommon sight nowadays, with almost all online multiplayer titles featuring some sort of detection for anyone trying to be a little too friendly with their internals.
Unlike the classic PunkBuster days, more than a few options are currently available for developers. The growing trend seems to be kernel-mode anti-cheat systems, which try to combat cheaters by integrating themselves deeply inside the operating system.
With the number of kernel mode anti-cheat solutions growing steadily, Valve has revealed that it has received feedback from both developers and players about making their existence more easily seen on Steam store pages:
“We’ve heard from more and more developers recently that they’re looking for the right way to share anti-cheat information about their game with players.
