Magic The Gathering: Arena has been available on PC since 2018, so they&#8217;ve been waiting for a long time for this.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mce-toc\">\n<h2>Table of Contents<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#mcetoc_1ha6v5ngn3\">Will Magic The Gathering: Arena come to console?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#mcetoc_1ha6v5ngn4\">Can you play Magic The Gathering: Arena on a Steam Deck?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#mcetoc_1ha6v5ngn5\">Which platforms will Magic The Gathering: Arena be available on?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1ha6v5ngn3\">Will Magic the Gathering: Arena Come to Console?<\/h2>\n<p>Magic The Gathering: Arena was originally due to release this year on console, and has seemingly been in the works for a long time. However, during an investor call earlier this year, it was stated that the digital TCG was now targeting a release date of &#8216;<strong>2024 and beyond<\/strong>&#8216;, meaning that the wait for the game to launch on consoles has grown rather exponentially.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no official word on why the console version of Magic The Gathering: Arena has been delayed, but it could be related to issues that arose during the worldwide COVID-19 lockdown since the events of the pandemic caused a whole host of development issues across the entire industry.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1ha6v5ngn4\">Can You Play Magic the Gathering: Arena on a Steam Deck?<\/h2>\n<p>A lot of PC games don&#8217;t work on Steam Deck thanks to various things such as Denuvo Anti-Cheat and just an incompatible game, but luckily for fans of Magic The Gathering, the digital TCG simulator isn&#8217;t one of them. All you need to do is install the game onto your Steam Deck and it should work!<\/p>\n<div class=\"rsp-embed-container\" contenteditable=\"false\">\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.5%;\"><iframe style=\"border: 0; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MPIIE30JNGA?feature=oembed\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" srcdoc=\"&lt;style&gt;*{padding:0;margin:0;overflow:hidden}html,body{height:100%}img,span{position:absolute;width:100%;top:0;bottom:0;margin:auto}span{height:1.5em;text-align:center;font:48px\/1.5 sans-serif;color:white;text-shadow:0 0 0.5em black}&lt;\/style&gt;&lt;a href=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MPIIE30JNGA?autoplay=1&gt;&lt;img src=https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/MPIIE30JNGA\/hqdefault.jpg alt='YouTube video thumbnail'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&#9654;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1ha6v5ngn5\">Which Platforms Will Magic the Gathering: Arena Be Available on?<\/h2>\n<p>During the same investor call that announced the delay of the console versions of Magic The Gathering: Arena, it was stated the Wizards of the Coast was looking at Xbox and PlayStation platforms.
