If you're eager to play Fortnite on your Steam Deck, you might be disappointed to learn that native support isn't available due to limitations in SteamOS. However, fear not! You can still enjoy Fortnite on your device by streaming it from cloud gaming platforms such as NVIDIA GeForce NOW or Xbox Cloud Gaming. Here's how:
Method 1: Streaming via NVIDIA GeForce NOW
Step 1: Install Google Chrome
Navigate to the Steam Deck's game mode and install Google Chrome. If it's not already installed, you can find it in the Discover Store.
Step 2: Configure Launch Options
Right-click on Google Chrome in game mode and select "Properties." Under "Launch Options," enter the following parameters:
–window-size=1024,640 –force-device-scale-factor=1.25 –device-scale-factor=1.25 –kiosk “https://www.play.geforcenow.com”
Step 3: Enable Google Chrome Access
Switch to desktop mode and open Konsole. Enter the following command to grant Google Chrome access:
flatpak –user override –filesystem=/run/udev:ro com.google.chrome
Step 4: Launch GeForce NOW
Return to game mode and open Google Chrome. Visit the GeForce NOW website, log in to your account, and start playing Fortnite.
Method 2: Streaming via Xbox Cloud Gaming
Step 1: Install Microsoft Edge Beta
Instead of Google Chrome, install Microsoft Edge Beta on your Steam Deck.
Step 2: Configure Launch Options
Set launch options for Microsoft Edge Beta under "Properties" in game mode:
–window-size=1024,640 –force-device-scale-factor=1.25 –device-scale-factor=1.25 –kiosk “https://www.xbox.com/play”
Step 3: Grant Access to Microsoft Edge Beta
Switch to desktop mode, open Konsole, and enter the following command:
flatpak –user override –filesystem=/run/udev:ro com.microsoft.Edge
Step 4: Start Xbox Cloud Gaming
Return to game mode, launch Microsoft Edge Beta, visit the Xbox website, log in, and start playing Fortnite.
While it's possible to install Windows on your Steam Deck for direct access to Fortnite, it's not recommended due to potential compatibility issues. By following these steps, you can enjoy Fortnite on your Steam Deck via cloud streaming platforms.
