Destiny 2 on Steam Deck LCD
No. Valve rates Destiny 2 Unsupported on Steam Deck: some or all of it doesn't work on the device, so our estimate only matters if that changes. At the Steam Deck LCD's native 1280×800 we estimate ~42 fps on the ultra preset (range 33–50, medium confidence, ±20%). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
