Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered may need a workaround on desktop Linux

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is out now and like other recent Sony PlayStation releases on PC, it forces a PlayStation Network Account which is causing issues for some desktop Linux players.

You can run it on Linux with Valve’s Proton, but you might have issues actually logging into the PSN account system to play it. Not particularly surprising, since with God of War Ragnarök you needed to pretend your desktop Linux system was a Steam Deck but in this case you don’t want to do that.

Writing on the Steam forum, a developer at Nixxes Software said to do this instead:

The SteamDeck parameter includes other changes specifically designed for the Steam Deck.

If you are experiencing issues with the login flow on Linux, please use the following workaround:

On Steam, right click the game in your Library, choose Properties, go to General.

Add -showlinkingqr in the field for Launch Options

Nice to see this sort of thing has been thought about, and to have a developer directly reply with a solution.
