Utilizing a Home windows PC with an Arm-based Snapdragon processor in it feels lots like utilizing a regular-old Intel or AMD PC nowadays, because of the work builders have put in to get their apps working natively on Arm chips and the work Microsoft has executed on Windows’ Prism technology for translating x86 apps to run on Arm processors. However among the outdated compatibility gaps stay.

Drivers and different lower-level Home windows software program cannot be translated by Prism, and in lots of circumstances, the Arm PC consumer base remains to be sufficiently small that builders have not put within the work to get Arm variations of their software program up and working.

Epic Video games is taking a step in that course later this 12 months—at the moment, the corporate announced that it is bringing its Epic Online Services Easy Anti-Cheat software program to Arm PCs, together with official Home windows-on-Arm assist for Fortnite. Each are coming to Arm PCs “later this 12 months.”

“Along with releasing Home windows on Snapdragon anti-cheat assist for Fortnite, we are going to deliver this assist to builders by means of an Epic On-line Companies SDK launch,” the corporate’s weblog submit says. “It will allow builders utilizing Simple Anti-Cheat to deliver this compatibility to their very own video games.”
