Ubisoft Decides Linux isn't Worth the Effort **[It's Foss](https://daily.dev/sources/itsfoss)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary Ubisoft is pulling For Honor from Linux desktops and the Steam Deck starting September 10, the same day its new Ranked Dominion and Ranked Duel modes launch, citing an inability to meaningfully deploy anti-cheat protection on the platform. This reverses Easy Anti-Cheat support the company itself enabled for Steam Deck back in July 2023. The move follows a familiar pattern from big publishers like Roblox, GTA V Online, and Apex Legends, all of which cut off Linux or Steam Deck players in recent years, even as EAC has supported Linux for years and EA has explored similar support for its Javelin anti-cheat. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Why is Ubisoft removing For Honor from Linux and Steam Deck? Ubisoft says it cannot meaningfully deploy anti-cheat protection on Linux, so it is removing For Honor from Linux desktops and the Steam Deck starting September 10 to safeguard ranked play. This reverses Easy Anti-Cheat support the company enabled for Steam Deck back in July 2023, despite EAC having supported Linux for years. Ubisoft says it may reopen the platform later after investigating better anti-cheat options. _Track this and similar Linux gaming compatibility shifts as they unfold on daily.dev._ ### When does For Honor stop working on Linux and Steam Deck? For Honor loses Linux and Steam Deck support starting September 10, the same day its new Ranked Dominion and Ranked Duel modes go live. Players on those platforms will no longer be able to play the game after that date, per Ubisoft's own announcement tied to its ranked play anti-cheat changes. _Linux gamers weighing which titles remain playable can follow platform support changes on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Good News\!
