Blocked by anti-cheatSteam Machine: Unsupported

Its anti-cheat (Zakynthos, BattlEye, UNCHEATER) is not working on Linux for this game, so it won't run properly even where Proton otherwise could handle it. BattlEye runs on Linux in 26 other games Sifter tracks; UNCHEATER runs on Linux in 1 other game 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.

The game might have more serious, darker themes (e.g., crime, horror, or war) and could include some blood, crude humor, or stronger language. These elements should not be overly graphic, but the violence and tension are at a level inappropriate for younger players.The rating board's own rating, as Steam relays it

About this game

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

LAND

Drop into an ever-growing and changing selection of maps to keep you challenged. Will you choose the safer outskirts and risk not getting enough loot or hot drop into the dense cities and fight from the moment you hit the ground? Every drop is different, it's up to you to make the best with what you find.

LOOT

With unique weapons, a variety of supplies, and special tools to outwit your opponents, how you outfit yourself is up to you! Kit out your favorite weapons with powerful attachments or risk going after the hotly contested Care Packages for unique loot to give you the edge you need to win.

SURVIVE

Stocking up is only the beginning. With the Safe Zone growing ever smaller as time goes on, your risk of running into other survivors dramatically increases. Die and you're out. You'll need to outthink, outrun, or outshoot your opponents if you're to be the last one standing and claim ultimate victory.

MANY WAYS TO PLAY,

Warm up in Team Deathmatch, try out constantly changing modes in the Arcade, drop into the latest seasonal event, or build your own custom lobby and challenge your friends to something unique.

EVERY MATCH IS UNIQUE

No two battles are the same, and everything hinges on the choices you make to land, loot and survive. Drop into the Battlegrounds where victory hinges on every move and every choice, and fight to be the last one standing.

Optional in-game purchases available.
