It's really happening.
[h=2]What you need to know[/h]
  • Epic Games has announced that its Easy Anti Cheat service is now available to use on Linux.
  • The popular anti-cheat software was previously exclusive to Windows, and also becomes available on Mac.
  • The Steam Deck is an obvious winner as Easy Anti Cheat will also work with WINE and Proton.
One of the big flies in the Steam Deck ointment has always been how anti-cheat software will be handled. The truth is that a lot of the popular Windows games that can't be played on Linux through Steam's Proton Compatibility layer, or through WINE, are because of anti-cheat software.
