How to Play Darkest Dungeon 2 on Steam Deck
For playing the Darkest Dungeon 2 on Steam Deck, you must toggle the option to “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool“.

So, here’s how you can play DD2 on Steam Deck:
- Firstly, head to your Games Library and select Darkest Dungeon 2.
- Press the Settings button (gear icon) to the extreme right.

- Head to the Compatibility tab on your left pane.

- Lastly, head back to the Library and launch the Darkest Dungeon 2 on your Steam Deck.
It’s worth noting that there is no Cloud Save in the v1.0 update. So, you cannot simultaneously play the game on your PC and Steam Deck. However, the devs have confirmed that they plan to add it soon. We will update this guide as soon as the devs release a patch.
