Epic is bringing Fortnite to Linux and unifying Easy Anti-Cheat
Epic Games is working on a Linux version of Fortnite delivered via the Epic Games Store launcher, contingent on a "critical mass" of distro maintainers adopting its security requirements. Easy Anti-Cheat will use signed kernels, signed kernel modules and Secure Boot with attestation, potentially unlocking Linux play on Steam Deck and Steam Machine.
- Fortnite will arrive on Linux via the EGS launcher if distro maintainers comply
- Easy Anti-Cheat will use signed kernel, signed modules and Secure Boot with attestation
- Goal is to bring Linux protection much closer to par with Windows
- No timeline: Fortnite will test the plans before other developers get access
