Halo Infinite is being kept off the Steam Deck because to anti-cheat efforts

Due to anti-cheat measures, Halo Infinite has been included to the “unsupported” Steam Deck list.

Due to unidentified anti-cheat software, Xbox Game Studios revealed in a recent Steam Deck update that customers will not be able to play the most recent version of the Halo franchise on their handheld PC.

Additionally, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Gears 5, and Microsoft Flight Simulator X are all marked as unsupported for the same reason.

Additionally, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney expressed reservations about Fortnite’s arrival on the Steam Deck, telling The Verge that the firm isn’t confident in the Steam Deck’s Linux OS’s ability to tackle cheating.

For the time being, it looks that the only option to play Halo and many other Xbox games is at home on your console or PC. There’s no reason to believe this will alter in the future, so settle in with Halo Infinite Chief in your living room for the time being.
