Little by little we are learning more and more information about Steam Deck, the portable Gaming PC of Valve how much interest and curiosity it has aroused. The machine will use Linux and its Proton layer, using the SteamOS 3.0 operating system. Now the anti-cheat system BattlEye has confirmed that also will be compatible with Steam Deck, for the peace of mind of users.
When this portable PC was announced, some gamers expressed concern that some multiplayer games would not be able to run on the Steam Deck, not because of features, but because they had to use anti-cheat systems. It seems that things are getting in place and Valve’s device will be able to move these games online without limitations.
BattlEye is one of the most famous anti-cheat systems and has native Linux compatibility, but it remained to be seen if it would work on the Steam Deck. The question is resolved because the company has commented on Twitter that it will, although it leaves in hands of the studies its use: “It will be made of voluntary way and game developers will choose whether or not they want to allow it. “
The creators might not activate this compatibility of their games with BattlEye on Linux if they wanted their title could not be moved on the laptop, but it does not seem that this is going to happen. In fact, Destiny 2, PUBG, Rainbow Six Siege and even Fortnite are now playable on the new machine, something that is sure to make more than one player happy.
