Epic Games confirmed its Linux launcher will officially support SteamOS and Steam Decks. Communications Director Jake Jones told GamingOnLinux that the new Epic Games Launcher, still in preview, plans to support multiple Linux distributions including Fedora, SteamOS, Cachy, and Omarchy. The company is testing packaging formats and will restore AppImage support this month.
The launcher support does not guarantee Fortnite availability on SteamOS. Easy Anti-Cheat Linux v2 support remains unresolved. Epic Games previously stated that Steam Deck "does 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."
