Valve’s Steam Deck will support a wide array of PC games when it launches later this week (almost everything on Steam being playable is the ultimate goal), but what about one of the most popular PC games of all – Fortnite? Of course, Fortnite isn’t available via Steam, so it’s never been a guarantee, but Epic is working with Valve to make sure Easy Anti-Cheat works on the system’s version of SteamOS via the Proton compatibility layer. So, could they do something similar for Fortnite itself?

According to Epic CEO Tim Sweeney, Fortnite on Steam Deck, unfortunately, isn’t in the cards as the company isn’t confident they’d be able to battle cheaters on the system.
