Palworld is getting anticheat, but it shouldn't cause issues for Steam Deck/Linux because it will be mostly optional (www.gamingonlinux.com)

Palworld is adding external anticheat, but it will only be required for official servers. Community servers, single player, and coop will have it be optional.

We don't know yet if the anticheat will be compatible with Linux yet, but the options to not use it means that it shouldn't be too disruptive either way.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Palworld continues to be an incredible success seeing a 24 hour peak player count of 527,994 but cheating is causing problems, so the developers plan to address it with new anti-cheat.

Writing in a fresh update on Steam they said a player list will be coming at the end of this month for servers, to help people better deal with nuisances.

Additionally though, they will also be adding "an external anti-cheat solution to take measures against particularly frequent fraudulent activities and cheating".

This caused the Community Manager at Pocketpair, Bucky, to write a long post on X (formerly Twitter) calling such articles "lazy".

This emerging "Palworld has lost X% of its player base" discourse is lazy, but it's probably also a good time to step in and reassure those of you capable of reading past a headline that it is fine to take breaks from games.

Palworld is currently rated Steam Deck Playable and works great on Desktop Linux thanks to Proton.
