Xbox Game Studios has confirmed that Halo Infinite won’t be available to play on Steam Deck due to anti-cheat software.

Earlier this month, it was confirmed by Bungie that Destiny 2 won’t run on the Steam Deck while any “players who attempt to bypass Destiny 2 incompatibility will be met with a game ban”.
However, Valve has confirmed that the Steam Deck has over 1000 verified titles available for the system.
“Whenever we talk about compatibility rating numbers, we emphasise that this is just a snapshot of a single moment, and that ratings change over time. Even as you read this, partners are working on adding controller support, enabling anti-cheat on Deck, and smoothing out the experience for players on Deck,” writes Valve.
