Will I get banned for playing Destiny 2 on the steam deck?
I recently got a Steam deck and wanted Destiny 2 on it. I have since seen many articles about getting banned if I play it on a Steam deck, but they are all from 2022. I was wondering if the situation has changed.

Hello DrabDa BOSS p, Thank you very much for reaching out to us. That's a great question. We can confirm that Destiny 2 is not currently supported on the Steam Deck unless Windows is installed and running. You can read up more about it by following this [url=https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360049517431-Destiny-Account-Restrictions-and-Banning-Policies]link[/url].

Players who attempt to launch Destiny 2 on the Steam Deck through SteamOS will be unable to enter the game and will be returned to their game library after a short time. Players who are not accessing Destiny 2 through Windows and attempt to bypass the SteamOS/Proton incompatibility will be met with a game ban.[/quote]

Hey there, Steam Deck uses a Linux-based operating system with Proton to run Windows games. This is not compatible with Destiny 2 (and BattlEye's) requirements, and cannot be played on a standard Steam Deck. If you install an actual Windows operating system on it, then you can play Destiny 2 on it just fine.

You can't play it on the steam decks native operating system which is basically Linux. The anti cheat Destiny uses hasn't been enabled for that platform (and the game will kick you pretty soon after you login). Multiple attempts to play on Linux could get you banned. However, you can play it on the steam deck IF you install Windows on it. Bungie will unlikely provide muc (if any) troubleshooting support for steam deck users, but only it playing on a windows install will work for that device. Other alternatives are to use the steam streaming feature from another computer but probably wouldn't be the best experience.
