Is Diablo 4 on Steam Deck?

Diablo 4 will be Steam Deck Certified as of October 17, 2023. A Tweet from Diablo 4 Community Manager Adam Fletcher confirmed that the development team has completed work on the game’s Steam Deck compatibility.

There are high hopes for Diablo 4 thanks to previous Blizzard games taking to the platform fairly well. Battle.net games mostly run great on the Steam Deck, with Diablo 2: Resurrected and Overwatch 2 both playing after using Proton.

How to install Diablo 4 and Battle.net on Steam Deck

By grabbing the official Battle.net installer from Blizzard’s website, you can add it to Steam as a non-Steam game and run it under Proton. Any future installs will also follow the same instructions.

You can follow our full guide on how to get the game, or any Blizzard game – within reason – running on the Steam Deck.

Which version of Proton for Diablo 4?

Your best chance of getting the game to run is GE-Proton 7.51-Beta. Any other version doesn’t seem to be working right now. When the game launches later this year, this beta version of Proton should be integrated into the main build.

Diablo 4 released on June 6, 2023, and is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and Series S, and Microsoft Windows.
