Fortnite is one of the most popular games on the planet, and it’s not just for people who are into gaming. The game has also become a popular platform for cheating, with some players using cheat codes to get ahead in the game. This week, Epic Games released a statement saying that they’re concerned about Fortnite cheaters on Linux. The company said that they’re working on a solution to the issue, but they don’t want to release it until they have a better understanding of how it works. Epic Games is one of the most popular video games in history, and it’s clear that cheat codes and other forms of cheating are not going away anytime soon. If you’re using a cheat code or any other form of cheating in Fortnite, be sure to be careful about what you’re doing because there may be consequences.
In an exchange on Twitter, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeny addressed bringing Fortnite to Steam Deck, which would require the game to support Linux. He said, “Fortnite no, but there’s a big effort underway to maximize Easy Anti Cheat compatibility with Steam Deck.” So while it sounds like Epic is working on bringing its anti-cheat tech to Linux, Fortnite doesn’t look like it’s coming.
In another Tweet, Sweeny elaborated, saying, “We don’t have confidence that we’d be able to combat cheating at scale under a wide array of kernel configurations, including custom ones.”
A game like Fortnite could take a nosedive if cheaters take over, as it’s an entirely multiplayer-focused game. Of course, if the Steam Deck catches on and becomes the next big gaming platform, Epic might need to reconsider its stance, as it could miss out on a vast potential player base. Only time will tell if that’s the case.
