I brought the Steam Deck so I can play Destiny 2 on it (since Stadia is shutting down in January). I wonder if you can play Destiny 2 on it now and how??????
Unfortunately, as of right now, Destiny 2 isn't playable on the Steam Deck. Even if you install Windows, Destiny blocks you from playing the game.
Not true, you can install Windows and run it there.
Speaking from recent experience (played it yesterday) 🙂
Really? That's wonderful! Last I saw, Destiny was still rejecting anyone playing on Steam Deck even in Windows. I will have to test myself, I hope this is true.
Depending on Tony's level of computer proficiency, he bought the Steam Deck to play Destiny 2, installing a Windows operating system on his Deck would be a workable and playable alternative.
There was issues when trying to run Destiny 2 on the Steam Deck, even using the Windows OS. Though I saw someone post that it is working now, so I will have to check!
If you use GeForce Now with the free account you can stream it on Deck. It works well enough. Bungie has an anticheat that won't allow proton and they refuse to update their game to support the system.
That is true! I believe you can also use Steam Play if you own a full Windows computer.
