Does Destiny 2 run on Linux?
Verdict: No
No. Destiny 2 uses BattlEye, and its maker has declined to let it work on Linux, so you cannot play it there. There is no safe workaround.
Destiny 2 is an action and adventure game from Bungie, first released on 1 October 2019.
You can play it alone or co-operatively online. Steam lists partial controller support. Critics scored it 83 out of 100 on Metacritic. It is free to play.

What you can do
No version of Linux and no setting can fix this, because the block is on the game's side. Trying to get around anti-cheat can also put your account at risk. If this is a game you play often, keep Windows on that PC, or install Linux beside Windows and restart into Windows to play.
