Steam Deck
As of now, The Rogue Prince of Persia hasn’t been categorized as a Playable or Verified title for the Steam Deck. But that’s going to change soon. Well, despite no official support, player reports have confirmed that the game runs on the Deck, and that too at a stable 60 FPS. For a roguelike, that’s quite basic. But, some players have mentioned that the game stutters a lot on the Deck. Anyway, responding to all these reports, one of the developers stated the following:
We will be constantly working on optimisation for the Steam Deck throughout Early Access too 🙂
And we’re waiting on Steam Deck verification right now!
So, it’s quite clear that Steam Deck verification of The Rogue Prince of Persia is on the way, and maybe after that, the game’s performance gets a bit better. Until then, you will have to deal with the FPS stutters.
Lenovo Legion Go & Asus Rog Ally
Compared to the Deck, the Rog Ally and Legion Go pack slightly better hardware due to which games run on them at higher FPS. And, since both of these handhelds use Windows OS, there is no question of any compatibility issues affecting the experience of players. So, based on all these, it is quite obvious that The Rogue Prince of Persia works pretty well on these handhelds. Here’s a gameplay video featuring the game’s performance on the Rog Ally:
