SteamOS is so close to greatness — but can Valve finally crack anti‑cheat and remove the biggest barrier holding PC gamers back?

SteamOS is a Linux-based operating system developed by Valve, designed for the Steam Deck and other compatible devices, offering features like cloud saves and cross-device connectivity. However, it faces challenges with compatibility for games that use kernel-level anti-cheat systems and require Trusted Platform Module 2.0 support. Notably, games like Rust and Apex Legends have dropped support for SteamOS and Linux due to concerns over cheating and low user bases. Valve is working on anti-cheat solutions for SteamOS, but the lack of support from developers remains a significant barrier. Valve's hardware roadmap includes the Steam Machine and Steam Deck, but the Steam Machine will not receive financial subsidies like the Steam Deck. The success of SteamOS may depend on its ability to attract a substantial user base and persuade developers to collaborate on integrating anti-cheat systems.

Underwater multiplayer survival game Anchor will swim onto PC

Fearem has announced Anchor, an underwater survival crafting game for PC that supports over 150 players per server in a persistent online open-world environment. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity lives underwater after a nuclear holocaust, players are genetically engineered beings who must build, defend, and fight for their homes while facing environmental dangers and other players. The game features custom networking technology that allows the world to evolve even when players are offline. Anchor's 16km² open-world map includes various biomes and encourages exploration, resource gathering, and community building. Players can choose to engage in multiplayer or a solo/cooperative sandbox mode without PvP threats.
