Epic Games Confirms Official Support for SteamOS and Steam Deck
Epic Games has officially confirmed that its Linux launcher will support Valve's SteamOS and the Steam Deck, alongside other distributions like Fedora and Ubuntu. This development follows previous investigations by Epic into making their software compatible with Linux-based environments. While the launcher is moving toward broader distribution, a major hurdle remains for flagship titles like Fortnite. The compatibility of Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) v2 on SteamOS is still unresolved, as current hardware/software limitations prevent the required features from functioning. Epic Games continues to coordinate with Valve to address these technical barriers.
