Back when the Steam Deck was announced, one larger issue with it was that some of the biggest games on the Steam platform wouldn\u2019t be supported.<br \/>\nThis of course was due to the fact that those games used anti-cheat software which didn\u2019t work with Linux at the time. And since the Steam Deck is based on Linux, that means the Steam Deck wouldn\u2019t support games like Apex Legends and Dead By Daylight. Among others.<br \/>\nBut EAC and Steam Deck have become fast friends. And while developers will still need to implement support, things are well on their way.<br \/>\nNow that EAC supports Steam Deck, all that\u2019s left is BattlEye<br \/>\nWith EAC on board, BattlEye is next. According to a report by The Verge, the CEO of BattlEye has confirmed that it\u2019s actively working on getting the anti-cheat software up and running on the upcoming handheld. This means there\u2019s a good chance it\u2019ll be ready for when the Steam Deck launches.<br \/>\nWhich would open up compatibility for a handful of other popular games. Destiny 2 for example, uses BattlEye. And for the last few days so far this week, it\u2019s been the number three most popular game on Steam. Dropping to number five as of today, September 24.<br \/>\nOther games that use BattlEye include Rainbow Six: Siege, and PUBG. Both of which are also wildly popular.<br \/>\nThe Steam Deck begins shipping December 2021<br \/>\nWhile not new information, the Steam Deck begins shipping in December of this year. Which means there\u2019s still a couple of months left for support to pop up for things like BattlEye.<br \/>\nWith that time frame laid out, those who reserved a Steam Deck back during its announcement will get them before the holidays. But it\u2019s also worth noting that not all reservations will be getting them this year. Within about a half an hour of reservations going live, shipments were pushed out to 2022 and beyond.<br \/>\nValve still hasn\u2019t sent out emails to reservation holders to make the full purchase. That will likely come a little later this year prior to when shipments are supposed to start.<br \/>\nThe post Epic&#8217;s EAC Now Supports Linux\/Steam Deck With BattlEye On The Way appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Valve-Steam-Deck.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"958\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Steam Deck now has support for Epic\u2019s EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat), with Epic announcing this morning that the anti-cheat software [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8911,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8910","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bez-kategorii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8910","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8910"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8910\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8912,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8910\/revisions\/8912"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8911"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
