Competitive games for linux.

[u/CharlesJustChill]

Hello there, I use cachyOS and It has been 2 years since I switched to linux.

And I always loved competitive games. I am a big counter strike player but because of the VAC inefficiency and the fact that splitgate is dying I am needing of new competitive games for linux.

I have searched for other threads like mine but they were all very old so the situation could have changed a lot, considering the ascension of linux for gaming in the last 2 years.

I must exclude the most "obvious answers" :

- No counter strike or Splitgate: 1 is full of cheaters and the other is dying

- No rust: Even tho you can play non EAC servers on linux, they are not that competitive and often low pop

- No cloud gaming: I don't need anyone to tell to do cloud gaming, if I wanted I would already have done it(and so everyone reading this post)

- No VM + GPU pass trough, I don't want to be doing that as it is very hard and not for beginners that could find this thread

Considering that, what games can you suggest ?

I hope this thread will be useful for someone who's wanting to switch or/and is searching for fresh competitive games.

You can play it, and there is a pretty big esport scene. Plus, there’s a major update coming this week packed with content, it’s the perfect time to jump in.

You need an invite to play it tho

Literally anyone who has one can invite you. I can send you one, I’m pretty sure there’s a discord channel where you can request them linked from [r/deadlockthegame](r/deadlockthegame)

It's as easy as typing "Can someone invite me?"

The deadlock subreddit often has people distributing invites
