Valve's claim that the Steam Deck would run every game in your Steam library is looking more and more like fact. Yesterday Easy Anti-Cheat announced support for Linux and the Proton compatibility laters the Deck relies upon.

"BattlEye has provided native Linux and Mac support for a long time and we can announce that we will also support the upcoming Steam Deck (Proton)," reads the tweet. "This will be done on an opt-in basis with game developers choosing whether they want to allow it or not."

BattlEye has provided native Linux and Mac support for a long time and we can announce that we will also support the upcoming Steam Deck (Proton). This will be done on an opt-in basis with game developers choosing whether they want to allow it or not.

Steam Deck will run a new version of SteamOS, relying on the third-party software Proton to make Windows games compatible with the Linux-based operating system. The issue with Proton is that it previously wasn't supported by certain pieces of anti-cheat software. That meant it was looking like games such as Apex Legends wouldn't work on Valve's handheld.
