On July 17, 2024, a unique game featuring a noir dystopian world was released. Titled Nobody Wants to Die, it takes players to 2329 in New York, where immortality can be achieved but with a price. You take on the role of a detective, responsible for carrying out the investigation of a serial killer who is targeting only the city’s elites. Now, in your pursuit, you will face various challenges and bumps, but with your “time manipulation augmentation technique and advanced technology to reconstruct events”, you can investigate crime scenes very effectively. Anyway, given the fact that it is a single-player game, you wouldn’t want to give up on investigating if you are on the go. That’s why devices like the Steam, Asus Rog Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go exist. But is the game compatible with these systems? Well, if you are interested in knowing the same, this is just the article you need.
It is true that with the help of handhelds, you can enjoy your favorite game on the go without having to worry about being glued to your desk. But the portability factor of handhelds comes with a caveat and that’s performance. Well, we are not saying that handhelds are not capable of running games at acceptable framerates. While most games do run on these systems, some just prove to be too much for them, especially the Deck, as it comes with inferior hardware, when compared to the Rog Ally and Lenovo Legion Go. That being said, let’s discuss whether Nobody Wants to Die is compatible with the Steam Deck, Asus Rog Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go.

Steam Deck
Since the game has been recently released, there is no official information regarding its compatibility with the Steam Deck. As of now, it is neither listed as Playable nor Verified for the Deck. But this doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to run it on the handheld. Since Nobody Wants to Die is a single-player game, the chances of compatibility issues arising while running it on the Deck are quite low. But the issue lies in the game’s system requirements. Built using Unreal Engine 5, and having a minimum system requirement of an i3-8100 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600X CPU along with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super, AMD Radeon RX VEGA 56, or Intel Arc A750 GPU, we think that the Deck will struggle running it, even on the lowest settings. Well, a gameplay video shared by DeckWizard gives a clear idea of the game’s performance on the Deck:
So, after taking one look at the gameplay, you will notice that irrespective of the Upscaler used, the game’s FPS won’t go past 42-45. For a single-player game, that’s more than enough, but the in-game visuals take a hit significantly if FSR 3 is used. So, ideally, you should stick to either TSR or XeSS for the best performance and quality ratio.
Lenovo Legion Go and Asus Rog Ally
Now, unlike the Steam Deck, both of these handhelds are a bit more powerful and share similar specifications. This is the reason why the game’s performance on the Legion Go and Rog Ally will be comparatively better than that of the Deck. And, you also don’t need to worry about any official confirmation regarding the game’s compatibility with these systems, as these are basically mini-PCs running Windows OS. So, any game that works on a PC will work on these handhelds.
With that said, now you know all about the Steam Deck, Asus Rog Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go support details of Nobody Wants to Die. If you find this article informative, consider visiting Android Gram for more such interesting content on all things gaming.
