Just in case you were curious - no you will not be able to play Battlefield 6 on any Linux powered system including SteamOS.

    Pro-tip: buy it on steam, open it so that Steam recognizes play time, write heinous review, issue refund.

      It would be a real shame if someone were to organize a group of Linux players for the launch, to leave negative reviews about how they can’t play the game on their Steam Deck…

          That’s fine by me. If they open Pandora’s box a little bit somebody will pry it open the rest of the way.

            It has already happened. I don’t remember which game but basically they detect the Steam Deck and make an exception only specifically for that.

    It’ll probably be unplayable on most systems for the first 6 months if the last few battlefield releases are anything to go by 😂

    I know the resounding opinion is “so?” but things like this are the only things that keep me on Windows, sadly. My squad plays Warzone, and may play this. At the very least, when I upgrade I’ll probably dual boot, but this is still dumb to me. You’d think the Steam Deck would encourage people. Ah well.

    I don’t have any Windows PCs anymore, and I’m not buying a $200 Windows Pro license just to buy a $70 game with questionable recent history.

    Potential customer lost.

    PS: I think the fact that they’ve made this decision also provides insight to the game itself.

    I know others are like “oh well, anyway” but I remembered playing and enjoying bf3. I’ve avoided the other titles because of military FPS shooter fatigue.

    Now though I’m almost desperate to have something that isn’t souls like, but EA has to be EA. It’s a shame, because I would’ve been up for paying the stupid amounts of money they normally charge to experience BF6.

    I do have a PS5, but I don’t have the monthly subscription (paying for online multiplayer is a mugs game), so I just simply won’t buy BF6.

    Tpm, secure boot. I was starting to be interested in the return to bf3-4 I’ll stick to Arma and squad.

        it’s funny cause just the other week I found out you can still play 3 and 4 on Linux so I was like “oh perfect! I do miss me some battlefield” I load up steam and see BF1, BFV, BF2042 but I could have sworn I also owned 3 and 4 and I do…on Origin.
