SEGA have revealed that Sonic Rumble, their attempt at a sorta-of racing Battle Royale, is scheduled to release on May 8. It's also Steam Deck Verified, which I already wrote about earlier this month.
As a reminder: it does use a Kernel Level Anti-Cheat called Uncheater that's noted on the Steam page, which seems to be some variant of XIGNCODE3. Thankfully, it's not using Anti-Cheat Expert (ACE) like a few others recently, which only seems to allow the Steam Deck on some sort of hardware whitelist, so Desktop Linux players should hopefully not have any problems. See more compatibility on our anti-cheat page.
