Steam Machine and Battlefield 6: Valve explains anti-cheat compatibility
Valve has outlined its work to enable anti-cheat compatibility on the Steam Machine. The console runs SteamOS on Linux, which currently lacks support for some kernel-level anti-cheat systems, preventing titles such as Battlefield 6, Apex Legends, and Valorant from launching on the device.
Valve developer Pierre-Loup Griffais noted on the Friends Per Second podcast:
On a platform like the Steam Machine, players have greater reason to run online games that rely on anti-cheat than they do on the Steam Deck. We’re actively working on that.
Valve has enabled the full set of Trusted Platform Module APIs so developers can create their own anti-cheat solutions.
Some solutions will be SteamOS-specific, and developers will decide whether to support them.
The company clarified it will help developers where possible, but timelines depend on publishers and anti-cheat providers.
