Add Steam Deck / Linux support
Come on Bungie.
Easy Anti-Cheat already supports Linux via Proton, and according to EAC themselves, enabling Linux support is basically a boolean toggle in the configuration. Valve fully supports EAC through Proton.
Many major titles already do this successfully on Steam Deck, like Halo MCC, Dead by Daylight, Apex Legends, Elden Ring and Fall Guys.
There is no technical blocker anymore — this is a developer-side decision.
Steam Deck and Linux players just want official support to play Destiny 2 without workarounds or risk of bans.

I’m sure that once the benefit/revenue from doing so outweighs the ongoing support and development costs Bungie will be all over this. Until then, not happening.

2 RisposteWith the bloatware that Windows 11 turned out to be and its insistence on using AI, I decided to switch to Linux and also buy a Steam Deck. I would love to be able to play Destiny 2 from there, but it just doesn't work, and the excuse has always been that there are few people on Linux. Now, with the Steam Deck and the upcoming release of the Steam Machine, I hope they will reconsider and finally add support for Linux, even if it's through Proton.

An bungie doesn't want to support linux

Not worth the time and effort with the current state of destiny 2.

2 RisposteModificato da Shark_Shank: 1/19/2026 2:43:52 AMDo a bit of research. Destiny does not use Easy Anti Cheat, they use Battleye and in house AC Apex Legends stopped support due to the massive amount of cheating that could not be controlled. https://x.com/PlayApex/status/1852019667315102151 [quote]There is no technical blocker anymore — this is a developer-side decision. [/quote] Yes, developers need to spend the resources to support on another platform and decided that Linux is not worth the effort. [quote]Steam Deck and Linux players just want official support to play Destiny 2 without workarounds or risk of bans.[/quote]The only risk of ban is working around the fact Bungie said no. Dual boot windows is the only way.
