Announced in the 2023 Xbox Games Showcase event, fans have been anticipating its release for a long time. Well, if you are reading this, you too must be waiting for it to drop. As of now, the game’s primary supported platforms are listed as Windows and Xbox Series X/S. But you won’t find any details regarding its compatibility with handheld systems.

Steam Deck
Well, as of now, there is no official confirmation regarding whether Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will support the Steam Deck. And, since the game’s release is about 4-5 months from now, it isn’t surprising. But does the absence of any handheld compatibility details for the game mean you won’t be able to run the game on them? No. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, the latest installment in the MFS series, does work on the Steam Deck without any official support. Players have tried the game on their Decks and it runs on both SteamOS and Windows. So, since MFS 2024 is based on the same game engine, we are quite sure that the upcoming installment will be playable on the Steam Deck too.
Asus Rog Ally and Lenovo Legion Go
Unlike the Steam Deck, both the Rog Ally and Legion Go are handhelds that run on Windows. So, this eliminates the compatibility issues that frequently occur on the Steam Deck. Basically, any game that supports Windows can be run on these handhelds, as they are mini-PCs. But there is a caveat. You won’t be getting good performance out of these handhelds, as they have limited hardware capabilities but can still do the job.
With that said, now you know all about the Steam Deck, Asus Rog Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go support details of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. If we get additional information on this matter, we will make sure to update this article accordingly. Until then, stay tuned to Android Gram for more such interesting content on all things gaming.
