I played the play tests on my steamdeck, and it does seem to run without any errors or issues, but the performance is not good on the Steam Deck’s APU (probably because they make a lot of use of dynamic ray-traced lighting effects similar to The Finals).
I believe Embark Studios stated for the Finals that they run each update of their game through Codeweavers to maintain compatibility for Proton users, and I’d imagine that’s not going to change anytime soon. I think it’s kernel level anticheat for windows, Proton EAC for linux.

The Finals is rated Playable on Steam Deck and also uses Easy Anti Cheat, just like ARC Raiders.
The latest ProtonDB reports (~3h old) for ARC Raiders also say it works, but I don’t know if that’s for the playtest.
At this point, it would be weird if it doesn’t work on Linux/Steam Deck.
I played this morning before work, worked just fine.
It uses EAC, which may be a kernel anticheat on Windows, but on Linux it runs in user space.
