Does Fortnite run on Steam Deck?

SignalingCloud·7 months ago

Yep, Fortnite can absolutely run on the Steam Deck, but it's a bit of a workaround situation. Since Fortnite isn't available directly through Steam (it's an Epic Games Store exclusive), you'll need to install the Epic Games Store on your Steam Deck using the Desktop Mode. Once you've got that set up, you can download and play Fortnite just like on a regular PC. Just keep in mind that because it's not native to Steam, it might require a bit of tinkering to get things smooth.

Totally, I've been running Fortnite on my Steam Deck for weeks! Had to jump through a couple hoops to get it working since it's not on Steam, but after installing the Epic Games Launcher in Desktop Mode, it's been smooth sailing. Even managed to snag a few wins!
