If you were looking to get in on the Marvel Rivals Closed Beta via Steam Deck, you’re likely going to be left wanting.

There’s no ‘official’ way of getting it to run via Steam so unfortunately, you’ll have to be tethered to that PC instead.

However, if you’ve done a little tinkering and are dual booting Windows, you can install it that way.

It does run quite nicely on really low settings but you will be missing out on those pretty character designs and maps.
