Since the release of the Steam Deck, Hunt: Showdown has been unplayable on Steam Deck due to the lack of EAC linux support, yesterday, that changed. Un-announced as part of the patch notes that were released on Feb 16, 2023 the EAC .SO file that is required for EAC on Linux was included in the build update, making it playable on Linux and the Steam Deck.
From Steam DB, Hunt: Showdown still has a fairly active user base and it's great to see this available on linux and Steam Deck now, we can only expect the player counts to go up from here.
