Is there a chance to see D2R playable on Steam Deck’s SteamOS?
Wouldn’t get your hopes up.
Can’t say I have insider knowledge or something so who knows, but I don’t deem it likely.
I expect Blizzard just wants to squeeze profits before selling their shop to Microsoft, channeling the effort into things that would make a last bang like D4.
Then it will be sold to Microsoft that focuses on the Xbox pass and I don’t think this means having a high interest in converting their titles into Steam Deck games.
But as I said, who knows, maybe Steam and Xbox become besties and work together in the future.
It’s been playable since the Steam Deck launched. I’ve personally poured a ton of hours into D2R on my Steam Deck alone since April.
Just find one of the many installation guides and play. I just installed BNet as a “non-Steam game” under Proton, then logged in, then popped D2R to install and that’s it.
