Witchfire Steam Deck, Lenovo Legion Go & Asus Rog Ally Support Details
Steam Deck
For the Steam Deck, Witchfire is not yet officially announced as either Deck Verified or Playable, meaning that, at present, it is not officially supported on the device. However, this is just the beginning of the story. Since its release on the Epic Games Store, players have been experimenting with running Witchfire on their Steam Decks using their Epic accounts. Despite the lack of official support, many have found the game to be playable on the Deck with minimal performance issues. The consensus within the community is that the upcoming Steam release will likely be playable on the Steam Deck, whether natively through SteamOS (using Proton) or via a Windows installation. And finally, there are plenty of gameplay videos that have surfaced, clearly showing that Witchfire can indeed be played on the Steam Deck! All that remains to be seen is if this Steam Version will have the verified badge when it eventually comes out or whether there are any performance-related improvements.
Asus Rog Ally and Lenovo Legion Go
The Asus ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go essentially function as mini PCs with hardware specs that far exceed those of the Steam Deck. Given their superior performance capabilities, it’s reasonable to expect that if Witchfire runs well on the Steam Deck, it should perform even better on these more powerful devices. And indeed, that appears to be the case! The Epic Games Store version of Witchfire ran flawlessly on both the Asus ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go, which gives us hope that the Steam release will likely deliver a similarly smooth experience. Whether you choose to play the Epic version now or wait for the Steam release, rest assured that both of these devices are more than capable of handling Witchfire!
With that, we hope all your doubts regarding the compatibility of Witchfire with these handheld devices are cleared.
