Steam Deck
As you’d expect from a developer who left no stone unturned to make sure that their first game, Hades, was compatible with the Deck, the sequel to the same, Hades II, also follows suit. Yes, Hades II is indeed a Deck-Verified game. This means it has been thoroughly tested on the handheld and was found to be running quite well. Or is it? As per various player reports, it has come to light that running Hades II on the Deck comes with its own set of problems. Some players have encountered an issue where the Deck displays the Downloading Content message when the game is launched but is stuck at 0%. Some also reported that the game hangs at the Steam logo and doesn’t proceed forward. However, most players didn’t face any issues, so you will have to launch the game on your Deck to check if it actually crashes or works flawlessly. If you encounter issues, consider switching to a different version of Proton or taking a look at the workarounds shared by the developers to tackle similar issues.
Asus Rog Ally and Lenovo Legion Go
Unlike the Steam Deck, compatibility issues don’t usually occur on the Asus Rog Ally and Lenovo Legion Go. Why? Because they run on the Windows OS instead of the Steam Deck’s Linux-based SteamOS. Due to this, any game that works well on PC can be played on these handhelds, and Hades II is no exception to this fact. So, if you own these handhelds, feel free to try Hades II and enjoy the experience on the go.
