Great news for MOBA fans. SMITE will be getting Linux/Steam Deck support with the 10.6 update:

SMITE will now run on Linux systems – special thanks to the SMITE community for helping with this. A group of players in the r/smite discord made a big impact on this change.

While it mentions Linux specifically, I would assume that by extension this also means support for the Steam Deck. The EAC the game uses will now support these platforms.

Aside from that there are a ton of other features coming to the update, including new skins, UI fixes, adjusted rules for various game modes, adjusted characters, etc. See the patch notes for more info.

SMITE is free-to-play on Steam.
