The Halo franchise is one of the best, if not the best, franchises out there in the world of gaming. The iconic Master Chief is a known figure to almost every gamer. However, in recent years, the craze for Halo games has died down a bit, mostly due to the fact that 343 Industries & Xbox Studios haven’t been able to introduce a good Halo game. Anyway, with the release of Halo The Master Chief Collection, things were looking bright for Halo fans. This collection features a total of 6 games from the Halo franchise packed into one. Although the reception has been quite positive, there isn’t enough demand for this game.

Well, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Halo MCC is not a Deck Verified title. But does that mean you won’t be able to run the game on the handheld? No. It is playable, but not without issues. Earlier, you could only play the game’s campaign mode on your Steam Deck as EAC (the game’s anticheat) didn’t support Linux. However, back in April 2023, the developers did release an update for the game, enabling Steam Deck users to access the game’s offline and online modes on the handheld without any hassle. So, this means that you can enjoy the entire Halo MCC experience on the go.
One thing you should keep in mind is using the right Proton Version to run the game on your Deck.
