World of Tanks: HEAT is a fast-paced free to play hero-driven tank action game, it just released on Steam and it does work on Linux \/ SteamOS systems. It has Easy Anti-Cheat (which can be a big problem for Linux) but the developer has enabled it for Linux so you should have no problem running it. And, Valve rated it as Steam Deck Verified too.<\/p>\n

For the online play it’s fully cross-platform to play with people across Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and GeForce NOW. The developer even advertises Steam Deck support for it directly – all across a single account (Wargaming) which links to your Steam account.<\/p>\n

On the Max settings at 2560×1440 the performance has been pretty good, although there are some drops down to around 60FPS when there’s a lot of action going on but it seems overall pretty smooth.<\/p>\n

It has launched to a pretty rough reception, with it quickly getting a Mostly Negative user review score on Steam.<\/p>\n
