Epic Games is currently seeking to strengthen its anti-cheat measures for Linux by hiring a Senior Game Security Engineer. The company aims to enhance how Easy Anti-Cheat operates on Linux systems. Although this anti-cheat solution is already in use on Linux, it doesn’t function at the kernel level, which is a reason many games opt to block Linux users.
The job listing outlines several key responsibilities for the role:
Candidates are expected to possess expert knowledge in C/C++ within a security context, profound understanding of Linux and Windows OS internals, and familiarity with software debugging and reverse engineering, particularly of x86-64 binaries. Additional requirements include a grasp of online multiplayer game architectures and data analytics skills.
While this hiring effort does not guarantee that Epic is moving towards releasing Fortnite on Linux, it might be a step closer to integrating Linux support in the future. Epic’s CEO Tim Sweeney previously noted that substantial user growth would be necessary before such a move would be considered feasible.
