AI Summary

Epic Games confirmed it is developing a Linux version of its battle‑royale title Fortnite, announcing the effort in a brief note beneath a blog post about the new “vibe‑coded” Epic Games Store, which will also launch on Linux. The company said it will collaborate with Linux distribution maintainers to meet a set of security requirements needed for the game to run, noting that each distro must implement those requirements individually. Fortnite will be delivered through the Epic Games Store launcher, but Epic will only release it once a “critical mass of distro maintainers” adopts the needed changes, though no specific threshold was disclosed.
