Does Destiny 2 Work on Steam Deck?

Short answer: No, not straight out of the box. Destiny 2 isn't supported on Steam Deck's native SteamOS due to anti-cheat compatibility issues. So, if you're looking to play it on Steam Deck, you'd have to get creative (hello, Windows!).

Nope, it doesn't work because of the anti-cheat system. Bungie hasn't made it compatible with Linux or SteamOS, which is what the Steam Deck runs. So unless they decide to update that (or you're willing to jump through some hoops installing Windows), Destiny 2 and the Steam Deck are a no-go.

Yep, Destiny 2 totally runs on the Steam Deck but with a twist. Destiny 2 doesn't officially support SteamOS (the operating system on the Steam Deck), meaning you can't play it directly through the pre-installed SteamOS. However, gamers have found a workaround by installing Windows on their Steam Deck. This way, you can enjoy Destiny 2 and take advantage of the portable PC gaming experience. Just keep in mind, it's a bit of a hacky solution, and you're venturing into unsupported territory, so proceed with caution!

Actually, I've been running Destiny 2 on my Steam Deck just fine, thank you very much. It's all about dual-booting with Windows. Yeah, it's not the simplest process, and sure, it's not 'officially supported,' but it works. Played through a bunch of raids and crucible matches without a hitch. Just make sure to follow a reliable guide online.
