Looks like Epic Games may be looking to actually improve how Easy Anti-Cheat works on Linux, with a job listing for a Senior Game Security Engineer.
While the Epic-owned Easy Anti-Cheat does work on Linux, it’s not at the kernel level and that’s partly why so many games that use it decide to actively block Linux.
From the job listing:
Job listings like this don’t suddenly mean they’re working towards Fortnite on Linux though.
But at least it could be work towards eventually allowing it to work.
Going by what Epic Games’ CEO Tim Sweeney said back in 2023, Linux / SteamOS would need “tens of millions of users” before that were to happen.
