Grand Theft Auto 5 Loses Steam Deck Support Due to Anti-Cheat Software

Grand Theft Auto 5 and its online counterpart, GTA Online, are no longer playable on the Steam Deck due to the integration of BattlEye Anti-Cheat software. This decision has left many players disappointed, especially considering the game’s ongoing popularity. While the single-player campaign remains accessible, the inability to play GTA Online is a significant blow for many players. Despite BattlEye’s support for Proton, the Steam Deck’s operating system layer, the software’s compatibility with GTA 5 on the device remains unclear. Valve is currently working with Rockstar to resolve this issue.
