Last month, Valve's FPS game's massive expansion, as Bungie says Destiny is "not ed" – and those that try to force it to work may face a "game ban".
The last couple of weeks saw some major gaming releases, including the long-awaited launch of Valve's Steam Deck handheld, Destiny 2's latest expansion, and Elden Ring. However, while FromSoftware's Elden Ring is the best multiplayer games on PC is not.
According to developer Bungie's updated guide to Destiny 2 on Steam, "Destiny 2 is not ed for play on the Steam Deck" due to the handheld using Proton. Unless s install Windows on Steam Deck instead – which currently doesn't have the right drivers – players who try to load Destiny 2 "will be unable to enter the game and will be returned to their game library after a short time". Furthermore, Bungie warns that "players who attempt to by Destiny 2 incompatibility will be met with a game ban".
On the game's BattlEye team itself previously stated Steam Deck would be on an "opt-in" basis, so there may be other factors preventing Destiny 2 from running on Valve's handheld.

Thankfully, there's still a way to make Destiny 2 Steam Deck compatibility a thing, but you'll have to use the power of the cloud rather than Valve's handheld innards.
