Whenever someone says thatgaming on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X-powered Copilot+ PCsis horrible, I always take exception.
I’ve written first-hand experience that shows this just isn’t the case.
Easy Anti Cheat is getting an upgrade to remove the roadblock that stops it working on Snapdragon X PCs.
There is one roadblock though; Anticheat.
“Hundreds of todays multiplayer gamesincluding Fortniterely on Easy Anti-Cheat to counter hacking and cheating in multiplayer PC games.
This will enable developers using Easy Anti-Cheat to bring this compatibility to their own games. "
Fortnite will be the first EAC title on Snapdragon X later this year.
Unsurprisingly, the first title to go live is also the biggest.
It’s also the one that makes the most sense.
There’s no more specific information than that on when, but it’s in progress.
Snapdragon-powered PCscangame, and Epic is going to make sure they can play even more titles.
It’s also, as Epic says, the perfect way to battle test that it actually works.
“Battle-testing Windows on Snapdragon anti-cheat support with Fortnite will help ensure smooth implementations in other games.”
Fortnite is, after all, a controlled test environment that Epic has the best access to.
Gaming on Snapdragon X is, in some regards, akin to gaming on theSteam Deck.
The two aren’t apples for apples, but both share an issue with anticheat software.
Steam OS is based on Linux, and so Windows-based anticheat doesn’t just magically work.
Even being a first-gen product, the performance is there.
It has to start somewhere, and the ball is now officially rolling.
