For the most part it’s just a case of following the on-screen instructions. This is a painless process, and if you’ve ever installed a Windows program, you’ll feel right at home. After a few seconds, the installer should kick in. Step 4: Install BattlenetĬlose the window and hit the big “Play” button. It’s also worth noting, Proton 8.0 currently doesn’t work with this method, so feel free to roll back to Proton 7.0-5 if the latest version doesn’t work. If you’re reading this later, those numbers are the end may be higher in values. Click in the tick box to force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool, then select the latest Proton version. With Properties open, click on “Compatibility” first, then on the right should now be a tick box. Use the left trigger to click on the file “” to bring up another sub-menu from within Steam. Head into Library and in the search box type “batt.” This will locate the installer we just added to Steam and let us configure it some more. When that’s finished, go and open up the main Steam app. From here, look to the middle of the menu and use the right trigger to click on “Add to Steam”.

You should see a massive button marked “download”. Step 2: Download Īnother easy one for you: Open up your Internet browser and head over to the website. When it does, click on “Switch to Desktop”. After the Steam Deck has loaded, hold down the power button until a menu appears. Let’s kick things off by booting into Desktop Mode. Step 5: Install Overwatch 2 on Steam Deck.
