To play Overwatch 2 on your Steam Deck, you’ll have to install it via the Proton compatibility layer, which lets you run games not natively supported on Linux. First, make sure you've enabled Proton in your Steam Deck’s settings. Then, install Battle.net through a compatibility tool like Proton or Lutris. From there, you can download and install Overwatch 2 through the Battle.net launcher. Remember to check ProtonDB for the best Proton version and any tweaks you might need!
Played Overwatch 2 on my Steam Deck and it was awesome! Just make sure to update Proton for the best experience. Had to tweak some settings, but after that, it was smooth sailing.
Honestly, just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Overwatch 2’s performance on Steam Deck using Proton can be hit or miss. Better play it on a platform it was actually designed for.
