Epic Games says it is rebuilding Fortnite's anti-cheat system so that it can run on the Linux platform.
Popular competitive games such as Fortnite, Valorant, and Destiny 2 have long actively blocked Linux users, and even if the game itself can run through Proton, players get kicked out.
Easy Anti-Cheat has already released a Linux-supporting version, but full deployment in a game of "Fortnite"'s scale still takes time.
Since its launch in 2017, "Fortnite" has covered multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, consoles and mobile, but it had previously never come to Linux.
Epic explicitly stated that it wants to make the goal of bringing "Fortnite" to the Linux platform a reality.
If "Fortnite" truly lands on Linux, it may prompt more game developers to reassess the priority of the Linux platform.
Games such as Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone have already enabled mobile, console, and PC players to compete together.
Fortnite was the first to achieve full cross-platform play in mainstream competitive scenarios in 2018.
The shrinking safe-zone mechanism draws on the classic design of battle royale games such as PUBG and Fortnite, forcing agents into contact and preventing the degenerate strategy of passively hiding.
