Steam Deck Might Not Be Halo-Ready

There’s a good chance that Valve’s much-anticipated Steam Deck is a resounding hit for the firm thus far. Many titles, notably Halo Infinite, are sadly unsuitable owing to anti-cheat measures. Halo Infinite, the newest installment in the storied Halo franchise, was widely acclaimed when it came out the year before. Free-to-play cooperative games are very popular, therefore they inevitably include anti-cheating features.

Halo Infinite Falls Under The “Not Compatible” Section

Xbox Games Developers has published a list of titles that can be played on the Steam Deck. It’s broken down into 3 sections, each indicating a different playability tier: videogames that have been confirmed to operate, videogames that are functional but might show minor difficulties, and finally, videogames that aren’t compatible and henceforth cannot be played.  Gears 5, Microsoft Flight Simulator X, as well as Halo: The Master Chief Collection, all fall within the “Not Compatible” section.

It is unusual for video games to go via a compliance overlay in order to function on a separate OS, but cooperative titles for Steam Deck are an exception. Though The Half-Life publisher and also the open-source WINE project credit each other for the success of the Proton compatibility platform, expecting infallibility from a framework that supports videogames from several publishers and operating on various technologies is impractical.

The protracted success of Linux and also Steam Deck is a factor in whether or not companies choose to embrace Linux and also Steam Deck in the future.

This Can Jeopardize Steam Deck’s Future

Even if it isn’t a flawless system, Steam Deck might be the beginning of the end of Microsoft’s dominance as the primary gaming device. There are many fewer videogames available for other operating systems like macOS as well as Linux since the majority of videogame makers — even those controlled by the tech giant — focus on the Microsoft-made DirectX rendering driver.

Because of the widespread usage of the Proton overlay on the aforementioned Steam Deck and the fact that it is freely available on every Linux release that is supported, Linux has become a more attractive medium for game creators. Sadly, the popularity of Linux as a gaming system as well as the Steam Deck may be jeopardized if major games like Halo Infinite are not included.

The Halo video games not running on Steam Deck is a disappointment, however, this can change in the long run. Let’s hope it does.
