Ubisoft Cuts For Honor Off From Steam Deck and Linux on September 10 Over Anti-Cheat

Ubisoft will block For Honor, its medieval melee fighting game, on Steam Deck and Linux from September 10, the same day Ranked Season 0 arrives with Ranked Dominion and crossplay enabled. Ubisoft says its updated anti-cheat cannot run on Linux, so Deck and Linux players lose access to the game entirely. It follows Apex Legends and GTA Online, which both pulled Linux support over the same anti-cheat conflict. Valve's Proton layer lets many anti-cheats run on Deck, but publishers have to switch it on.

  1. Is blocking Steam Deck a fair anti-cheat call or Ubisoft abandoning paying players?
  2. Should storefronts warn you a game can drop Deck support after you buy it?
  3. Apex, GTA Online, now For Honor: is competitive gaming quietly ditching Linux?
  4. Would you buy a Steam Deck knowing anti-cheat can brick games at any time?
