Apparently, it had been a frequent question asked of the developer, given that the game is being published by Ubisoft. <\/p>\n<p>Third-party launchers can be a pain at the best of times, but they tend to be particularly maligned when combined with an online account requirement. They also potentially hamper a game&#8217;s compatibility with Linux devices, which is a particular sticking point for Valve&#8217;s Steam Deck. At the time of writing, Morbid Metal has a Platinum rating on ProtonDB, suggesting that Linux compatibility will not be an issue at launch.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/img\/haiWA66OfkJu2IoZ.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" data-width=\"1707\" data-height=\"960\" data-fancybox=\"g348071\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/haiWA66OfkJu2IoZ_thm.jpg\" width=\"231\" height=\"130\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/img\/qSENnx8k3Z1mXg6L.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" data-width=\"987\" data-height=\"703\" data-fancybox=\"g348071\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/qSENnx8k3Z1mXg6L_thm.jpg\" width=\"183\" height=\"130\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the early access launch of Morbid Metal, an indie-developed hack-n-slash roguelite, just around the corner, the game&#8217;s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":380623,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[85,46,125],"class_list":{"0":"post-380622","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-il","9":"tag-israel","10":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/380622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=380622"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/380622\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/380623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=380622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=380622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=380622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
