Developed and published by Piranha Games Inc., MechWarrior 5 Clans is the latest addition to the FPS genre where players get the experience of using mechs and leading a mech squad in the Clan Invasion of the Inner Sphere. And, like any mech-related game, this also features a bunch of optimization options for mechs, allowing unique strategies and possibilities. That said, given the game’s FPS nature and partial support for controllers, it is obvious that handheld gamers will be curious to know whether the game supports Steam Deck, Asus Rog Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go. If you are one of them, this is just the guide you need.
MechWarrior 5 Clans is an online co-op multiplayer. And, when it comes to games that offer multiplayer gameplay, things don’t align well with the Steam Deck. This is mainly due to the fact that multiplayer games released on PC use certain anti-cheat engines that aren’t compatible with the Deck’s Linux-based Steam OS, barring players from playing the game. So, is that the case with MechWarrior 5 Clans? Let’s find out.

MechWarrior 5 Clans Steam Deck, Asus Rog Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go Support Details
Steam Deck
Given the recent release of MechWarrior 5 Clans, it isn’t surprising that there are currently no details regarding the game’s compatibility with the Steam Deck. It hasn’t been labeled as Playable or Verified on Steam, which means that either it is incompatible with the Deck, or Valve hasn’t tested it on the handheld yet to provide the official compatibility rating. That said, not much is known about the game’s performance on the Deck as player reports on this matter are scarce too. However, one player mentioned that the game crashed itself and their Deck after they tried to launch it. So, this can mean that MechWarriors 5 Clan doesn’t work on the Steam Deck. But considering that the predecessor of MechWarrior 5 Clans has been listed as Playable, there are chances that this game too is playable on the handheld. For now, we are unable to share a definite answer regarding the game’s compatibility with Deck, but rest assured that we will be updating this article once we get more details on the same.
Asus Rog Ally and Lenovo Legion Go
Now, unlike the Steam Deck, both the Rog Ally and Legion Go are basically Windows-based mini-PCs, that can run almost any PC game. So, based on this fact, we can confidently say that MechWarriors 5 Clans will run on the Asus Rog Ally and Lenovo Legion Go. In addition to this, the game has partial controller support, so you won’t need to fiddle much with the controller configurations while playing it on your handheld.
That being said, we hope that now you have an idea of whether MechWarriors 5 Clans is compatible with the Steam Deck, Asus Rog Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go. If you find this article informative, consider visiting Android Gram for more such interesting content.
