Linux support for Apex Legends

I used to play Apex Legends frequently, but since moving to Fedora for my operating system three months ago, I have been unable to do so. I want to know if you plan to make the game officially compatible with Linux in the future.

I appreciate your time.

Warm regards,
Enes

    I am having the same Issue  and its a shame.

    Linux has been my main Desktop of choice for a while now and never really looked back to the Micro$lop OS.
    When i started playing  AL it ran fine on Linux and actually started playing the game and even purchased coins in order to support it at a time when it was running better on linux then it did on windows.  - I enjoyed it a lot while it lasted.

    Now EA and the Developer actively preventing the game from running on Linux under the pretends of "Antiy-Cheating" measures is laughable and an outright insult to Linux gamers.  - It feels like a betrayal and smells like devs bending over backwards to please theyr corporate overlords interests.

    2026 is the year of the linux desktop. - If EA doesnt realise this and stop blocking linux users from playing theyr games, they will see player numbers go down.
    In my "bubble" there are quite a few active AL Legends players that are thinking about switching to linux and are as of now, still are held back because of this one game. I think not for much longer. - As soon as there is a game that hits the same nerves and runs smoothly under linux - they will be gone and for good. - Arc Raiders (which runs great on linux btw.) has done this for many of them. More will follow.

    Fortunately there are enough other good games that do work well under linux that i can spend my time and money on, so i am not loosing sleep over it. - But it is still a shame, that a well made and maintained game like AL is going to loose parts  of its player base and lively community because of a stupid political decision like this.
