Snapdragon X devices have slowly been getting into their stride, but they aren't quite there yet. At the very least, Windows on Arm has been going from strength to strength, and big companies like Adobe are finally bringing their apps over in a native format. But there's still a way to go.

For example, if you're on a Snapdragon X processor, you'll find that any multiplayer game that uses the Easy Anti-Cheat system won't work. Fortunately, Epic Games is changing that with a new update to the Epic Online Services SDK, which allows developers to add Arm compatibility to their games. And yes, Fortnite is getting it.

Epic Games adds Easy Anti-Cheat compatibility to its SDK

In a post on the Epic Games Dev website, the company breaks down all the new stuff coming to developers via the Epic Online Services (EOS) SDK. There are a few interesting highlights, but this one in particular will be of most interest to people using a Snapdragon processor:

Anti-Cheat: Windows on Arm Compatibility

This release adds compatibility with Windows on Arm for the Anti-Cheat Interface, enabling secure multiplayer experiences on Arm-based Windows 11 devices.

I'm not much of a game developer, but it seems like adding compatibility for Windows on Arm is pretty straightforward. As Epic Games' instructions on the dev website state, developers need to update the anti-cheat bootstrapper and then grab the latest version of the Windows anti-cheat module. This should then allow the game to work fine on Snapdragon X devices.

So, now that Epic Games has support for its multiplayer games on Windows on Arm, it begs the question: when does Fortnite get the update? Fortunately, Epic Games confirms that the famous battle royale will be"among the first titles to take advantage of this compatibility," so that's good news.

The update doesn't stop there, though. Developers can now use it to make games for the Nintendo Switch 2, although they need both Nintendo's and Epic Games' blessing to do so. It looks like it complements the existing original Switch tools nicely so that also shouldn't be too much of a hassle to get going.

If you've been out of the loop, here's some of the recent developments made with Windows on Arm:

• Windows on Arm users score another win as Discord confirms an upcoming native version of the app
• Nvidia may be giving gaming on ARM the boost it needs with a new laptop
• Adobe makes good on its promise and delivers more native Windows on Arm apps, with a few catches
