Got the need for speed? CarX Street released an update just as the weekend hit to add in full Native Linux and Steam Deck support.
The game uses Easy Anti-Cheat and it was already enabled for Proton, where Valve gave it a Steam Deck Playable rating. As we noted on our GamingOnLinux Anti-Cheat Page. The developer said they expect it to now get the full green Verified tick soon. It also has a dedicated Steam Deck graphics preset and optimizations for it.

I'm glad that Linux and Steam Deck support has been officially added. Hopefully this will calm some of the naysayers. Added to my wishlist for a future Steam Sale.

It's nice to see more linux support. It'd be even better if it was possible to run the game in single player with having to install some anti-cheat solution, though. I've skipped a lot of game because of this specific point.
I know I'm a dying breed at this point, but I just want to enjoy either single player games, or play with a limited circle of friends. And neither of those warrants installing anything as intrusive as privileged, calling home solutions of any kind.
