Call of Duty: Black Ops III is a game for Microsoft Windows. However, it is possible to enjoy this game on your Linux PC with the help of Steam Play and Proton.

Instalar Steam

Making Call of Duty: Black Ops III work on Linux requires the latest version of the official Steam client. In order for this Steam client to work on your Linux PC, you will need a terminal window.

To open a terminal window on the Linux desktop, press Ctrl + Alt + T on the keyboard. Alternatively, you can open the terminal window on the Linux desktop by searching for “Terminal” in the application menu.

Debian

Those on Debian can install Steam by downloading the latest version from Steam through the official website as a DEB package. To get the latest version of Steam DEB on your computer, use the following wget download command.

wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steam.deb

With the latest DEB package downloaded to your computer, use the dpkg command to install Steam on your Debian system.

Arch Linux

You will be able to install Steam on Arch Linux, assuming you have the “multilib” software repository enabled. To enable this software repository, open the /etc/pacman.conf file in your favorite text editor (as root).

Once the file is open in a text editor, locate the “multilib” line and remove the # symbol. Also, remove the # symbol from the lines directly below it. Then save your edits and run the pacman command below.

Finally, install the latest version of Steam on Arch using the following command.

sudo pacman -S steam

If you use Fedora or OpenSUSE Linux, you will be able to install Steam on your computer using the software repositories included from the factory. However, the Flatpak version of Steam tends to work better on these operating systems, so we suggest following those instructions.
