I’m new to using the Steam Deck and noticed Call of Duty is currently on sale. Before I buy, I’m wondering if the game will just work out of the box on the Steam Deck or if it requires any special technical setup or tweaks. Has anyone tried playing Call of Duty on the Steam Deck and can share their experience?

Also, just a quick tip: some players got banned for using handheld companions or Steam Deck input tools with recent Call of Duty games, even without advanced setups like kernel mode enabled. It seems the anti-cheat is cracking down really hard, so be careful with any third-party tools or tweaks you try to use while playing COD on the deck.
The best way to check compatibility is to look it up on ProtonDB. It’s a community resource where users test how games run using Steam’s Proton compatibility layer on the Steam Deck. For Call of Duty, you can find reports there that will tell you if it runs well or needs some extra settings.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll check ProtonDB first to see the user feedback before buying.
