Can you install Origin on Steam Deck?

Best Answer

Yes, but it's like fitting a square peg in a round hole. It works, but expect some fiddling around in settings and maybe a compatibility hiccup or two.

Absolutely, you can install Origin on your Steam Deck! Since the Steam Deck is essentially a handheld PC running on SteamOS (a Linux-based OS), you can switch to Desktop Mode and install the Windows version of Origin through Steam's compatibility layer, Proton, or directly install it if Origin supports Linux in the future. Just remember, it might need some tweaking to get everything running smoothly.

Tried it myself - bit of a process but totally doable. Running Apex Legends through Origin on my Deck felt like a small victory against the gods of compatibility.
