EVERYBODY'S GOLF HOT SHOTS rated Steam Deck Playable with the anti-cheat enabled for Linux

EVERYBODY'S GOLF HOT SHOTS arrives on Steam today from Bandai Namco Entertainment, and Valve just rated it Steam Deck Playable even with Easy Anti-Cheat.

This means the developer or publisher have actually enabled Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) to allow Linux platform players in, so you should be good to go on any other SteamOS / Linux system to play it, as EAC doesn't block normal Desktop Linux PCs like we see from games using Anti-Cheat Expert (ACE).

For their Steam Deck rating, Valve note it has some small text and a manual configuration of the graphics are required to get it to perform well. Additionally, it does not default to external controllers, so you need to swap them over in the Quick Access menu. Valve's checks were done using the latest Proton 10 Beta.

We've updated our anti-cheat compatibility page to note the new status.
