Today, Easy Anti-Cheat from Epic Games / Epic Online Services has officially announced a full expansion for Linux including native builds and Wine + Proton. This is big for Linux Gaming and the Steam Deck.
They have a list of partners and supported games here, but just to name a few:
Apex Legends;
Fortnite (although it uses both EAC and BattleEye, so only half the battle is won with that);
Dead by Daylight;
Black Desert Online;
War Thunder;
Anything by Hi-Rez Studios, so Paladins and SMITE are the two biggest names;
Fall Guys (which used to work, but stopped when EAC was introduced);
FOR HONOR;
Dauntless;
Halo: Master Chief Collection
Aaaaaand the list just goes on and on and on… If everything goes correctly you can easily expect ProtonDB’s top 10 to jump to 80%, top 100 to jump to 90%+ and top 1000 to go to around the same. It’s that big of a jump.
