Sniper Elite 5 now rated Steam Deck Playable with an anti-cheat update

By - | Views: 28,166

Today Sniper Elite 5 got updated and it seems they upgraded Easy Anti-Cheat from Epic Online Services, including making sure it works on Linux and Steam Deck.

So thanks to that Valve have also as of today given it a Steam Deck Playable rating. As seen on SteamDB, it originally mentioned the unsupported anti-cheat but that's no longer the case. It would be Verified if it didn't have some cases where the in-game text was too small, so hopefully that's something Rebellion can work on next. It also notes the first-time setup needs an active internet connection.

Currently the Steam Deck verification has it pinned to the stable version of Proton (Proton 8.0-3).

Sniper Elite 5 originally launched in May 2022, so it's nice to see continued support for the game and for the developer to ensure it works properly for Steam Deck and Linux desktop players like this. The list of games unplayable on Steam Deck is getting shorter all the time.

You can buy it on Humble Store and Steam.
