Blocked by anti-cheatSteam Machine: Unsupported

Its anti-cheat (BattlEye) does not permit Linux, so multiplayer won't work regardless of Proton tier. BattlEye runs on Linux in 26 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.

About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

Infiltrate the dark sci-fi world of Marathon filled with rival players, enemy forces, and unpredictable dangers. Scavenge its maps alone or with a crew, then fight your way to extraction in tense, high-stakes PVP and PVE battles.

SURVIVE AND THRIVE

  • Scour dangerous locations for valuables, loot, and intel on the lost colony.
  • Grab gear off defeated players and enemies. Exfil successfully and fill your vault.
  • Complete contracts to earn rewards, upgrade your loadout, and come back stronger.

YOUR STRATEGY, YOUR RUNNER

  • Pick a Runner shell that fits your playstyle, each with its own unique abilities.
  • Upgrade your loadout with an arsenal of moddable weapons and customizable abilities.
  • Craft countless builds, from stealthy infiltrators to frontline bruisers and support specialists.

COUNT ON YOUR CREW, TRUST YOURSELF

  • Crew up in groups of two or three or take on Tau Ceti alone.
  • Form cautious alliances balanced on a knife’s edge. Make a deal with enemy players or betray their trust for your own gain.
  • Play as Rook, a lone scavenger with nothing to lose except what you find along the way.

PUSH AHEAD, GROW YOUR POWER

  • Grow stronger throughout the course of the season and put your best loot on the line to earn incredible rewards.
  • Climb the ladder and prove you’re a top Runner in Ranked mode.
  • Enter Cryo Archive to crack raid-like challenges, solve layered puzzles, and clash with rival crews for top-tier loot.
