On Linux, Steam Deck and Steam Machine

Blocked by anti-cheatSteam Machine: Unsupported

Its anti-cheat (Easy Anti-Cheat) is not working on Linux for this game, so it won't run properly even where Proton otherwise could handle it. Easy Anti-Cheat runs on Linux in 144 other games Sifter tracks — so this is a per-game decision rather than a limit of the anti-cheat.

Valve rates it Unsupported on Steam Machine. Valve marks it Unsupported on SteamOS.
