Can You Play TFT on a Steam Deck?

-

Has anyone successfully gotten Teamfight Tactics (TFT) running on a Steam Deck? I tried using a Windows VM, but it was pretty sluggish to the point where I didn’t want to bother with installing the League Client. Ideally, I’d prefer not having to dual boot into Windows, but that might be my last option. It would be awesome to play TFT on the Steam Deck if it’s possible!

Have you thought about running an Android VM? You might be able to play the mobile version of TFT that way. It could be a good alternative if the Windows method isn’t working out for you!

Yeah, I think playing TFT on Steam Deck is tricky because of the Vanguard anti-cheat system. A lot of people have mentioned that it doesn’t really work well, if at all, on the Deck.

That’s what I heard too! It seems like the anti-cheat really limits the possibility of running any version of the game.
