Epic Online Services is making its Easy Anti-Cheat tool available for Linux and macOS.
This move will allow popular free games like Apex Legends and War Thunder to be released on Valve’s Steam Deck.
So far, Easy Anti-Cheat was only available for Windows, so games that use it won’t work on other platforms.
Earlier, Epic had already used Easy Anti-Cheat for free.
Now that Easy Anti-Cheat is available for Linux, developers who use it can also launch their games on the Steam Deck portable console.
This game uses BattlEye as well as Easy Anti-Cheat and this software is not available for Linux.
