Haven't played anything in the battlefield series since bf2. Not surprised on this however, they gotta protect their profits. If someone was to create an anti-cheat for use on Linux it would make them a fortune.

Battlefield 6 will be a unplayable on Linux systems due to the anti-cheat

BF1, BF5 and Apex Legends all worked perfectly fine on Linux with anti-cheat fairly recently, until EA changed to use their new Windows only anti-cheat.
Oh well,.never mind

The information department informs that there is nothing new to inform. More information when we are informed.
After 2042, I wasn't very interested in this title to begin with so it isn't much of a loss. Gamers in general don't really care about rootkits (but will rage over launchers?), but I'm curious to see how well this will do after the trash that was 2042.
It's a COD clone right? Doubt you're gonna miss out on much.
