It’s evident that 2024 has seen a surge in the release of extraction multiplayer games. Part of it is due to the fact that the most popular game in the genre, Escape from Tarkov, received some really drastic changes, one of which is the new PvE mode only accessible to players who pay a whopping $250. This created a huge gap in the extraction multiplayer genre, and as such, to fill this gap, new games were released. Now, an upcoming game featuring the same gameplay elements is scheduled for release. Level Zero Extraction is the new extraction shooter in town, scheduled to be released as an early access title on August 6, 2024. Now, as the game’s release is approaching, it is obvious that many players would like to know whether it will be compatible with handhelds, including the Steam Deck, Asus Rog Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go. That said, if you are wondering about details regarding the same, here’s everything you need to know.
Developed by Doghowl Games, and published by tinyBuild, Level Zero Extraction was available to the general audience for a brief amount of time when the open beta was live. As shared by the developers, the player numbers during the game’s open beta stood at a huge 4915 concurrent players, which is quite impressive. Now, during this period, some players tried running the game on their handhelds and they have shared their experience regarding the same.
Level Zero Extraction Steam Deck, Lenovo Legion Go, & Asus Rog Ally Support Details
Steam Deck
Well, as of now, Level Zero Extraction is neither listed as a Playable or Verified title for the Steam Deck, and that’s not surprising. The game isn’t even out yet, so its compatibility with the handheld is not known right now. But, as per the majority of the player reports who tried the game during the open beta, Level Zero Extraction cannot be played on the Deck as launching the game on its Linux-based SteamOS crashes it. A player did mention that installing vcrun2019 into the prefix with winetricks: WINEPREFIX=”/mnt/SSDGames/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/2914260/pfx” winetricks vcrun2019 made the game run on the Deck with Arch Linux and Proton Experimental, but this can be a bit of a hassle. Some also shared that dual-booting their Decks with Windows and running the game worked. But the good news is that the developers have responded to the query about the Steam Deck compatibility of Level Zero Extraction with the following:
We plan on verifying the game on Steam Deck in the future, probably somewhere after the Early Access launch.
So, even if the game doesn’t offer Steam Deck support right after its early access launch, it will be made available soon, as stated by the developers.
Asus Rog Ally and Lenovo Legion Go
Now, unlike the Steam Deck which runs on a Linux-based Steam OS, both the Rog Ally and Legion Go are Windows-based handhelds, which means that you should be able to run Level Zero Extraction on them with ease, without any compatibility issues. When it comes to FPS, these handhelds can dish out much more FPS in-game when compared to the Deck as they have slightly more powerful hardware.
That said, now you know all about the Steam Deck, Lenovo Legion Go, and Asus Rog Ally support details of Level Zero Extraction. If you find this article informative, consider visiting Android Gram for more such content on all things gaming.
