How to play original Deus Ex

Deus Ex is the critically acclaimed action role-playing video game that combines elements of first-person shooting, stealth, and narrative-driven gameplay. Released in the year 2000, the game is set in a dystopian future where players assume the role of JC Denton, a nano-augmented agent working for the United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition. The story unfolds with conspiracies, moral dilemmas, and a cyberpunk backdrop as players navigate through a world grappling with the ethical implications of advanced technology. But the game is over 20 years old at this point, how or where can you play it? We got you covered.

How to play Deus Ex on the PlayStation 2

This port gets a lot of hate but it is truly one of the best ways to play the game – if of course you have a working ps2 – The game is a some a what stripped down version of the original PC release but that is to be expected. There was no way the complex management system at the time could be ported directly to the PlayStaton 2. But for many, including myself here at GDS, this was an amazing port to experience the world of Deus Ex.

How to play Deus Ex on a modern pc

Seeing as how the game is 20+ years old there are many routes to obtain this game. Legal and illegal. We believe in the legal route as many efforts were made to be run on current operation systems. Below are some shopfronts to purchase the game:

GOG:

Steam:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/6910/Deus_Ex_Game_of_the_Year_Edition/

The above has been developed to work on modern Pc’s such as Windows 10, Windows 11 etc. An original copy of Deus Ex won’t work right anymore and requires a lot of tinkering to get it to work. You are better off just buying the game legally to play it.
