Allegedly, on December 31, updated anti-cheat methods were rolled out to various Counter-Strike: Global Offensive servers. Namely, it appears as though the servers that Valve run themselves were updated while other dedicated servers were not yet updated with this "mysterious" update.
Those of the CS:GO section on Reddit noticed that a larger than normal number of cheaters were bitching that their undetectable cheats had gotten them banned from VAC secured servers. If this is indeed the case, Valve made no announcement of this, perhaps to catch these cheaters off guard.
In addition to this apparent upturn in these private hacks being banned, Valve is also allegedly starting to dish out one-year bans from the game for those that purposely crash servers through exploits.
Right now, these are just assumptions from those in the community that keep an eye on things like this. There has been no word from Valve on this matter.

by Shawn ZipayA new anti-cheat has entered the battlefield.
Electronic Arts just announced that they are working on implementing their own anti-cheat (or anticheat), into their current and upcoming multiplayer titles. Much like the simply named EA app, EA's new anticheat is called EA anticheat. Yes, that lack of capitalization is correct and slightly frustrating to look at.

by Shawn ZipayThe total number of high-profile lawsuits against Valve in 2026 is up to four.
Valve's legal team is surely earning their paychecks these days. In late February, Valve was sued by New York with allegations that their loot box mechanics promoted illegal gambling and could get children addicted to gambling. Just earlier today, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Valve in Washington state that claims Valve has been "knowingly operating unlawful gambling through its loot box...-

by Shawn ZipayValve is "disappointed" by this lawsuit.
Valve, in an extraordinarily bizarre move, just released a public statement in which they voice their "disappointment" over a recent lawsuit filed against them. Of the four lawsuits Valve is currently facing, the Steam developer took a moment to publicly rebuke several of the claims levied against them from New York Attorney General (NYAG) Letitia James.
James filed a lawsuit against Valve on February 25, 2026...-
