EAC has come to Linux and BattlEye is inbound
Valve promised it would work with anti-cheat software makers EAC and BattlEye to ensure some of the most popular games will run on its upcoming Steam Deck Linux-based gaming handheld, and one of those companies is now officially on board - Epic Games announced today that its Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) now supports Linux and Mac. Not only that, it's specifically set up to work with the Proton and Wine compatibility layers that Valve's relying on to bring Windows games to the Deck.
BattlEye is coming to Linux, too.
