Call of Duty: Black Ops III is a military FPS game developed by Treyarch and published by Activision. It is the 12th game in the COD franchise. Here\u2019s how you can play this game on Linux.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Install Steam<\/h3>\n

Getting Call of Duty: Black Ops III working on Linux requires the latest version of the official Steam client. To get this Steam client working on your Linux PC, you\u2019ll need a terminal window.<\/p>\n

To open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop, press Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Alternatively, you\u2019ll be able to launch the terminal window on the Linux desktop by searching for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

Use the following apt install command to get Steam working on your Ubuntu Linux system.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
Those on Debian can install Steam by downloading the latest release of Steam through the official website as a DEB package. To grab the latest Steam DEB on your computer, make use of the following wget<\/strong> download\u00a0command.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
With the latest DEB package downloaded to your computer, use the dpkg<\/strong> command to install Steam to your Debian system.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After installing the latest version of Steam on your Debian Linux system, you will have to correct any dependency errors that may have occurred during the installation. Using the apt-get install -f<\/strong> command below, fix the issues.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
You\u2019ll be able to install Steam on Arch Linux, assuming you have the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository enabled. To enable this software repo, open up the \/etc\/pacman.conf<\/code> file in your favorite text editor (as root).<\/p>\n
Once the file is open in a text editor, locate the \u201cmultilib\u201d line and remove the # symbol. Also, remove the # symbol from the lines directly below it. Then, save your edits and run the pacman<\/strong> command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syy\n<\/pre>\n
Finally, install the latest release of Steam on Arch using the command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
If you use Fedora or OpenSUSE Linux, you\u2019ll be able to install Steam on your computer using the software repositories included out of the box. However, the Flatpak release of Steam tends to work better on these operating systems, so we suggest following those instructions instead.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
Steam on Flatpak is easy to get working. However, you\u2019ll have to set up the latest release of the Flatpak runtime on your computer to start. To do that, follow our guide on the subject.<\/p>\n
After setting up the Flatpak runtime on your computer, use the two commands below to install the latest Steam release onto your computer.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https:\/\/flathub.org\/repo\/flathub.flatpakrepo\n<\/pre>\n
\nflatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam\n<\/pre>\n
