If you would love some demon-slaying action from the comfort of your couch, while waiting on the bus, or any other way involving a Steam Deck handheld console then read on. This article will explain how to install Diablo 4 on your Steam Deck.

Owners of Steam Deck had ways of working around its OS limitations and playing some of Blizzard’s games. But since October 17, Diablo 4 has been available on Steam and, naturally, Steam Deck. No need for you to bother with emulators and other tiresome ways to make Battle.net work, now everything is officially available via Steam.

Installing Diablo IV on Steam Deck

Thankfully, installing Diablo 4 on Steam Deck is now easier than ever – provided that you purchase it via Steam. Simply download it and install it as any other Steam game. Bear in mind that it needs up to 90GB of space. But, almost half of that is for “High-Resolution Assets”, and since Steam Deck is around 720p, you really won’t have much use for it. You can install the game without those High-Resolution Assets so prepare around 50GB of space instead. Diablo 4 is completely Steam Deck compatible, ie, it functions perfectly on Steam Deck’s controls and display. You will not miss out on anything by playing Diablo 4 via Steam Deck.

Batte.net and Steam Deck

Unfortunately, having Diablo 4 on Battle.net is not the same as having it on Steam. You cannot transfer your progress or anything. You have to treat it as a completely separate game. A sad fact but understandable, as Steam’s developers Valve need some revenue from this. The Standard Edition is priced at $69.99 on Steam, with Deluxe and Ultimate versions going for $89.99 and $99.99 respectively.
