In October, Epic Games said that it was \u201cinvestigating<\/a>\u201d making Fortnite<\/em> compatible with Valve\u2019s Linux-based SteamOS. At the time, Epic Games Launcher was in preview, but SteamOS was not specifically listed as a supported distro. Now, Communications Director Jake Jones has confirmed SteamOS compatibility, along with a handful of other distros, to GamingOnLinux<\/a><\/em>. In response to a question about the AppImage being replaced with Debian \/ Ubuntu .deb downloads, Jones said:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cThe new Epic Games Launcher is still in Preview and we plan to support as many Linux distributions as possible, including Fedora, SteamOS, Cachy, Omarchy, and more. We\u2019re testing and evaluating packaging formats for distribution, and we\u2019ll restore AppImage this month.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That doesn\u2019t necessarily mean Fortnite<\/em> will come to SteamOS. Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) Linux v2 support still remains an open question. When it announced its work to bring Fortnite<\/em> to Linux, the company said that the Steam Deck \u201cdoes not support the required features for our EAC v2 solution, but we are actively talking with Valve and hope to support it in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
