Linux Gamers Can Finally Play Games like Apex Legends, Fortnite, Thanks to Easy Anti-Cheat Support
|
|||
|
|
======
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Linux gamers, this is big news!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Epic Games adds complete Linux support for its Easy-Anti Cheat service, along with official [SteamPlay][1] (or Proton) and Wine compatibility.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Even though we expected this to happen sometime in the future, the introduction of Steam Deck changed the scene for [gaming on Linux][2].
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you aren’t aware, Steam Deck is powered by Linux, which is why Epic Games was interested in expanding support to the Linux platform.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So, safe to say, if it wasn’t for Valve’s effort with Steam Deck, the chances of getting Easy Anti-Cheat support on Linux were not good.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Multiplayer Gamers Can Consider Switching to Linux
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
With [Easy Anti-Cheat][3] support, many popular multiplayer titles like Apex Legends, Fortnite, Tom Clancy’s Division 2, Rust, and many other games should work flawlessly on Linux.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As per the announcement by Epic Games:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> Starting with the latest SDK release, developers can activate anti-cheat support for Linux via Wine or Proton with just a few clicks in the Epic Online Services Developer Portal.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So, it may take a while for developers to activate the anti-cheat support for various games. But, it should be a green signal for most of the games with Easy Anti-Cheat.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
One less reason to [dual-boot Windows with Linux][4].
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Apex Legends is one of the multiplayer titles I like. And, I had to use Windows to do that. Hopefully, that changes soon, and I get to try it on Linux in the coming weeks!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Similarly, if you were nearly making a switch to Linux but held back for its compatibility issues with games, I’d say that’s halfway resolved!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Sure, we still need the official support for BattleEye, other anti-cheat services, and game clients. But, this is a start.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Steam Deck is Now a Compelling Choice for Gaming
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
While many were unsure of Steam Deck’s support for all AAA games, this should improve things!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[Steam Deck][5] should now be an easy choice for multiplayer gamers.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Wrapping Up
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If Steam Deck steals the spotlight as a successful handheld gaming console, Linux gaming is going to change as we know it!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
And, I think Epic Games adding Linux support to its anti-cheat service is just the beginning.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Maybe, we’ll never have to refer [ProtonDB][6] to play a Windows-only game on Linux; who knows? But, the future of Linux gaming seems promising right after this.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you are a developer, you might want to go through the [announcement][7] to get the latest SDK.
