Windows on Snapdragon support is coming to Epic Online Services Anti-Cheat and Fortnite

We are working with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. to add Windows on Snapdragon support to Epic Online Services Anti-Cheat, also known as Easy Anti-Cheat, and make Fortnite available for Windows on Snapdragon devices later this year. This will help developers bring more games to more devices. 

Over the last year, the introduction of Windows 11 Arm-based laptops has transformed the PC landscape, and laptops with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon® X Series processors represent a rapidly growing segment of the PC gaming market. However, the majority of PC games today are compiled for x64, which doesn’t translate directly to the Windows on Snapdragon architecture. Due to the way anti-cheat software works with x64 features, additional tooling is required for compatibility with these devices.

Hundreds of today’s multiplayer games—including Fortnite—rely on Easy Anti-Cheat to counter hacking and cheating in multiplayer PC games. In addition to releasing Windows on Snapdragon anti-cheat support for Fortnite we will bring this support to developers through an Epic Online Services SDK release. This will enable developers using Easy Anti-Cheat to bring this compatibility to their own games. 

Battle-testing Windows on Snapdragon anti-cheat support with Fortnite will help ensure smooth implementations in other games. We look forward to enabling players to enjoy their favorite Epic Online Services Anti-Cheat-enabled games on the latest Windows devices powered by Snapdragon X Series. 

Game developers around the world can get started with Epic Online Services for free in games using many different engines and distributed on any PC store.
