It's been a good week for big releases running out the box on Linux. First, Monster Hunter: Rise and now this.
This year, a handheld PC is going to be capable of playing God of War 2018, Halo Infinite, and Breath of the Wild. What a world
Really glad to hear. However, the last paragraph is what got me about getting too excited for Linux gaming and the Deck. It's not enough for it just to work out of the box, you might have to tweak games a bit with launch commands or maybe other settings to get them to work perfectly. Hopefully Valve starts manually checking all big releases before they hit and get that sorted out.
That's good, however that's not them fixing it up, just telling you if it works or not. Similar to how the ProtonDB page has different ratings but people still have issues with Gold+ games all the time.
Legitimately and legally if you own a Wii U/Switch and a copy of the game
People always say this but that's got to be a legal grey area right?
Emulators have been ruled legal several times as long as they are not created using internal confidential information.
Might not wanna start this convo rn lol. Literally THE contentious topic when it comes to emulation.
I've been playing it in ultra-wide 60 FPS 3440x1440p and with double the view distance. Looks gorgeous. I had my friend with a modded wiiU rip my copy.
Unfortunately, I wanted to play it again recently but I lost my rip. So now I have to see if I can get in contact with my friend again or see how much of a hassle/expense it would be to pick up a modded wiiU.
This is how you fucking do it! I hope more Sony games do this for the future.
Actually, isn't Sony still using Linux (technically) on the PS5 just with an x86 architecture? If so, I assume it would be more straightforward with Sony games to be able to work on Linux? Or is that a no?

Piracy is illegal, breaking DRM can be illegal.
Making digital copies of your game, OS that you own, and playing them on your PC totally legal.
PCSX2 is completely legal for example, if you have a PS2, and you use it to take the bios off of it. And you own all the games you play on it, by ripping each disc. If you go to that extent, all the emulation that you're doing is completely legal. Not even legal grey area, the courts have considered it as fair use.
It should, yeah. It looks like Sony was excessively conservative on the minimum specs, and we might get 720p 30FPS on Original settings on the Deck, which would honestly be pretty impressive for a handheld.
No it's a Windows game.
People have been doing this for decades lol
I meant more, do PS4/PS5 systems run on Linux or a version of Windows?
PS4/PS5 systems run their own OS based on FreeBSD. There are more OS than Linux (which itself is a very big umbrella) or Windows.
I get that, but I was more asking if games are meant for PS4/PS5 originally, are they somewhat of the way there already to work on Linux or not? I got my answer now. Thank you.
I'm guessing that like the Monster Hunter game that just came out Valve was able to get a prerelease copy to make sure it worked. Hopefully they continue to do that with major game releases after the Steamdeck releases.
