Embark Studios has confirmed its commitment to supporting The Finals on the Steam Deck, despite some concerns regarding Linux compatibility. Although the game is currently marked as ‘unsupported’ on Steam, the developers have announced they are actively testing across all platforms, emphasizing the importance of ensuring a good experience for Steam Deck users.
Recently, updates to the game’s anti-cheat system have raised questions about its long-term viability on the Steam Deck. However, Embark reassures players that they recognize the concerns and are dedicated to working on compatibility issues. Tools like Proton Experimental are enabling players to run the game on the handheld device, albeit with challenges due to the Steam Deck’s non-Windows architecture.
The developers have also stated that while they do not plan to support native Linux or general Wine support, they remain focused on improving player experiences across all systems. This is particularly crucial as the next major update coincides with Season 8, which will feature the game’s first eSports Major event.
The Finals continues to compete within the shooter genre, maintaining a player base despite not matching the popularity of franchises like Call of Duty. Looking forward, players are eager for new content, with the upcoming ARC Raiders release also on the horizon.
