Rainbow Six Siege and GTA 5 now "Playable" on Steam Deck, despite anti-cheat

Valve has just issued an update to its Steam Deck compatibility ratings for GTA 5 Enhanced and Rainbow Six Siege, declaring them both as Playable. That's despite both games using the same BattlEye anti-cheat software that blocks Linux gamers, like those using Valve's handheld gaming PC, from playing online with other gamers.

While the Steam Deck continues to be the best handheld gaming PC for most gamers, consistency with the platform's verification ratings has been a problem for some time. While GTA 5 Enhanced's main offline mode doesn't require anti-cheat, GTA Online does, as does Rainbow Six Siege, leaving a question mark over why the rating has been changed.

'Siege 2 was never on the table': Rainbow Six Siege X director explains why the 10-year-old FPS doesn't need a sequel

Rainbow Six Siege is part of an exclusive club of multiplayer games that have been so successful for so long that, well, it's now officially old. There have been rumblings for over a year now that Ubisoft was planning a huge, possibly sequel-sized update to its 10-year-old tactical FPS, but after the very public debacle of Overwatch 2's launch, I'm not surprised the next era of Siege won't have a '2' on it...
