For Honor is getting a new season this September 10. The third-person melee combat game will celebrate its 10th anniversary next year, and will feature new content, including new ranked game modes.

Unfortunately, the update will also result in the removal of the game’s Linux compatibility. As a result, For Honor will no longer be playable on Steam Deck. The French publisher has provided an explanation.

"To reinforce a fair competitive environment, the team is introducing additional player safety measures. We are removing For Honor from the Linux platform to ensure a safer environment for our players as we cannot meaningfully deploy protection on this platform. This means that For Honor will no longer be playable on Steam Deck starting September 10th. We will continue to investigate different ways to improve our anti-cheat with the possibility of reopening the platform in the future."

To compensate for this limitation, Ubisoft recommends using cloud gaming services such as Xbox’s. This announcement comes as Microsoft has just revealed a plan that significantly limits cloud benefits for Game Pass subscribers.
