Regardless of which platform you play Diablo Immortal on, itвЂ™s going to take up a big chunk of your storage space.

You might also have better luck installing the Android version of the game using an Android emulator such as Bluestacks, though I canвЂ™t find any evidence of anyone having actually attempted this at the time of publication. If you do attempt it, I recommend getting a mouse and keyboard that will connect to the Steam Deck, because trying to use desktop mode on the Steam Deck and navigate file directories is a nightmare if youвЂ™re just using the gamepad and touchscreen interface. Some people have apparently managed to do it without too much trouble. Your mileage may vary with getting Diablo Immortal to run on Steam Deck. It was then that I realized I had sunk over a dozen hours into this project, and that it simply wasnвЂ™t worth it to play a mobile game thatвЂ™s already fully functional on my smartphone. Apparently, Diablo Immortal refuses to launch without first going through the launcher (presumably so that Activision Blizzard can try and sell you stuff on your way to the game). I got an error message telling me the game couldnвЂ™t log into, and to try again later. Moments later, my hopes and dreams were crushed yet again.

After hunting through file directories, I finally found the gameвЂ™s actual EXE file, and it made me unreasonably happy to watch the game actually, finally launch on my Steam Deck. This turned out to be because the primary EXE file in the Diablo Immortal directory only launches - not Diablo Immortal.В And for some reason, Remote Play simply refused to stream the launcher. A little spinning wheel appeared in the corner of the screen, then with a flicker, it crashed back into my Steam library. With Diablo Immortal installed and ready to go, I went ahead and added the game to my Steam library, grabbed my Steam Deck, and launched it. I had to coax it along right up to the end, when it finally managed to install. To make matters worse, kept running into errors that caused it to frequently pause the download.

The download for Diablo Immortal on my PC took an absurdly long amount of time, running well below my maximum download speed. Little did I realize that my troubles were just beginning.

Next, I figured that if I couldnвЂ™t actually install Diablo Immortal on the Steam Deck, I would at least be able to install it on my desktop PC and stream it over Wi-Fi via Steam Remote Play to the Steam Deck. Since the DNS fix had already failed for me, I had no choice but to abandon any plans of installing Diablo ImmortalВ directly on the Steam Deck.

ThereвЂ™s apparently a piece of software called Lutris that allows you to install the game, but I read that the issue I ran into with the launcher also exists when using Lutris.

I found a potential fix for this that involves changing the DNS server in the network settings, but it had no effect.

However, once I installed the launcher, I encountered a bug with that prevented me from downloading Diablo Immortal. In order to install it, youвЂ™ve got to go through desktop mode on the Steam Deck and install the launcher using Proton compatibility software - and only then can you download the game through the launcher. The problem is that the PC version of Diablo ImmortalВ isnвЂ™t on Steam, and is designed to be played with a keyboard and mouse. On the Steam Deck, it was a completely different story. I opened the Google Play Store, downloaded the game, and thatвЂ™s all there was to it. Getting started with Diablo ImmortalВ on the Galaxy S22 is a piece of cake.
