Yes, many anti-cheat systems can work if the developer opts-in to Linux support, but the fact remains that many MP games don’t work. From this list, starting from “best”, here are the ones that don’t work (according to are we anticheat yet):
#3 - COD: Warzone
#4 - Apex Legends
#5 - Rocket League
#7 - GTA Online
#8 - League of Legends
#13 - Valorant
#14 - Rainbow Six Siege
#16 - Fortnite
#19 - Hearthstone
#21 - Mortal Kombat X
That list is a little weird, but it popped up high in search results. Here are a few more that didn’t make the list for whatever reason that have high playership (from steamdb):
Destiny 2
PUBG
Rust
There are a ton that do work, but if you play one or more of the above games, Linux isn’t going to be a good option for you. Many of those could work if the devs flipped a switch on their build, but the fact remains that they don’t.
Cool. I stopped following it since Epic bought it, and it showed up as “Broken” on “are we anticheat yet.” Glad to know “broken” isn’t totally reliable.
