Epic Games is rebuilding its Easy Anti-Cheat software to make Fortnite run on Linux configurations. The work addresses the company’s previous concern that it could not reliably stop cheaters across the associated kernel configurations.
Linux support will follow once the rebuild is complete, but the announcement did not provide a launch date.
Steam Deck remains outside the plans
