Apex Legends is taking away its support for the Steam Deck and Linux


One of the few battle royales that did support the Deck.

“Linux cheats are indeed harder to detect and the data shows that they are growing at a rate that requires an outsized level of focus and attention from the team for a relatively small platform. In a recent interview with The Verge, Phillip Koskinas, director of anti-cheat on Valorant, discussed why game developers are shying away from Linux support. “Imagine if Steam Deck just has the security handled so we know it’s a genuine device, it’s fully attested, all these features are enabled, we’d be like cool, go game, no problem” says Koskinas.
