Space Marine 2 Steam Deck, Lenovo Legion Go & Asus Rog Ally Support Details
As of now, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has not been listed as Deck Verified or Playable for the Steam Deck, and there are no confirmations regarding its compatibility with the Asus ROG Ally or Lenovo Legion Go either. This is understandable, as the game has not yet been released. You will have to wait until September 9th, 2024 to try the game out for yourself, as that is when the game will be released for everyone. Also, keep in mind that players who pre-order the game will get a headstart with the four-day early access before the official launch, but aside from that, there are no demos or any other means to test the game on the Steam Deck, Asus ROG Ally, or Lenovo Legion Go, as of now. All in all, without any official confirmation and the game not yet available for hands-on testing, we can only say that it may not be playable on these handheld consoles—at least officially—for the time being. But will it be available later? That is something we can speculate on and what we will be doing next!
Will it be available? (Speculations)
Since the prequel, Space Marine 1, was labeled as Playable on the Steam Deck—with sites like ProtonDB verifying its compatibility—you can expect that Space Marine 2 will follow suit. However, that might not be the case. The new title appears to be a graphically intensive game that could push the Steam Deck to its limits, potentially making it too demanding for the handheld. As for the Asus ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go, these devices, being more powerful mini PCs at their core, might be able to handle the game, albeit likely with reduced graphics settings and lower FPS. But remember, this is all speculation at this point, so it’s best to take it with a pinch of salt and temper expectations. Ultimately, you will have to wait until the game is available to test on various devices and reach a definitive conclusion.
With that, we hope your doubts on this matter have been cleared. Once the game is released, we will make sure to update this article with relevant information.
