I am trying to download and play Fortnite on my steam deck. So far I have Heroic Launcher which is able to launch the game but not the anti-cheat it needs to successfully play it. I looked in the games file but it wont let me open it without needing another thing to run it. The file also has a windows icon over and I’m guessing that means I need to find another way. If I could get some answers it would be appreciated.

    Fortnite doesn’t run on SteamOS. Like, literally Epic refuses to support it on SteamOS/Linux. The only way to get it to run natively on Steam Deck is to boot into Windows and run the game that way.

    Personally, I would recommend just boycotting Epic and all the games they’ve developed instead. Just a terrible piece of garbage company.

    (Reupped because my original wording was flagged as being derogatory.)
