Does Splitgate run on Linux?
Verdict: Yes
Yes. Splitgate has its own Linux version on Steam, so it installs and plays like any other Linux game. Its anti-cheat (EQU8) works on Linux.
Splitgate is an indie action game from 1047 Games, first released on 24 May 2019.
It has a single-player side and an online one. Steam lists it as fully playable with a controller. It is free to play.
The evidence
- Its own Linux version
- Yes, on Steam
- Player rating on ProtonDB
- Gold, from 289 reports
- Steam Deck (which runs Linux)
- Marked unsupported by Valve
- Anti-cheat
- EQU8: Works on Linux, officially
How to play it
- Install Steam from your Linux app store and sign in. Your library is already there.
- Install Splitgate and press Play.
Valve marks this game unsupported on the Steam Deck. That rating is about the handheld, and can be down to its screen, controls or power, so it does not by itself mean the game fails on a desktop PC. Check the recent ProtonDB reports before buying.
