You may want to know if you can play Diablo Immortal on Steam Deck, as Valve's brand-new handheld console functions like a PC in almost every way, meaning you can tinker with a myriad of settings to make sure non-Steam games work. Diablo Immortal is the latest entry in the long-running Diablo series, bringing the ARPG chaos to mobile devices - but it has a PC port too, allowing it to be played through Battle.net. So if you want to get Diablo Immortal running on your Steam Deck, here's how to do it.

So the good news is that Diablo Immortal can be played on the Steam Deck, but as the game isn't available on Steam itself, you will have to go through a few steps first to get it up and running. There are two main methods of doing so currently, so follow either of the processes below to get into the action.

  • Download Battle.net.
  • Launch Steam on your Deck and then add the Battle.net executable as a non-Steam game, which will prompt you to locate it in the files. 
  • After finding it, right-click the executable, select 'Properties,' find the 'Compatibility' tab, and then check the option to "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool." 
  • You can now launch Battle.net through the Steam client.
  • Download Diablo Immortal and launch it.
