cloudline Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Will Avowed be released for Linux as well? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 The announcement only says Xbox and Windows - and I highly doubt that Microsoft will put in any effort to release it for Linux navitely. But since it's the Unreal engine you will be able to play it on Linux via Steam Proton soon enough I guess. At least I didn't encounter a game that I couldn't play via Proton at some point after release. 1 Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for me I boycott Steam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noqn Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Worth noting that Obsidian had dropped both GOG and Linux for The Outer Worlds even prior to the Epic deal and the Microsoft aquisition. Could be attributed to the publisher, but it's not like Microsoft will be any better in that regard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) The Outer Worlds was done with Unreal while PoE and Deadfire were done with Unity3D. If guess it was just easier to build a Linux version with Unity than it is with Unreal. Since Avowed is also using Unreal and the official release platforms are XBox and Windows and Microsoft has no reason to support gaming on Linux I don't think there will be an official Linux version... ever.

Unreal engine support Linux, but I don't see Microsoft ever releasing a game on Linux. Azarhal, Chanter and Keeper of Truth of the Obsidian Order of Eternity.

Boeroer Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 It does support Linux in theory, but it's much more complicated to get to a functioning build (when your main focus is XBox/Windows) than with Unity3D (where's it's also not a sure-fire success).

phyerboss Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Or just get an Xbox if you don't want to use a Windows PC or ? Not trying to stir the pot! So no flammage! Please. But it's labeled Xbox console and windows of exclusive. Meaning there's no intention of a build for anything outside of those. Remember, these guys are now a 1st party XB game studio.
