Epic Games is rebuilding its Easy Anti-Cheat Linux implementation into EAC Linux v2 to bring protection levels closer to parity with Windows, enabling more Windows games to run on Linux via Wine/Proton. Fortnite is confirmed coming to Linux, and the company continues to work with Valve on Steam Hardware anti-cheat support while exploring long-term OS-level cheat isolation solutions.
Background
Easy Anti-Cheat has supported Linux since 2014 but struggled with parity to Windows due to limitations in Linux kernel-level protections. Epic is investing in a v2 rebuild to unlock more titles for Linux via Proton compatibility layer.
