While Valves steam deck still has many unknowns, especially when it comes to the library of games it will work with, there have been 4 recent additions to the list of games confirmed to work with the platform. On Friday, Valve announced that Arma 3, DayZ, Unturned and Planetside 2 all feature working battlEye anti-Cheat when playing them through Proton (Proton being the Software the steam Deck will use to make Windows games run in Linux). These game join ARK: Survivisl Evolved and Mount And Blade II: Bannerlord for a total of six windows titles that Linux users can play without interference from anti-cheat software.
This number is… Rather low however you slice it. According to valve the technology is ready to go and all developers need to do is reach out to ask for it to be activated in their games. The current list is also missing some steam heavy hitters, such as Rainbow Six Siege and PUBG. as of right now we still do not have a full picture of all of the games that will work with Steam Deck and its Linux-Based operating system, but it is something valve have promised to clear up through a new “Verification Program” before the handheld launches in early 2022.
