Now that Wo Long Fallen Dynasty has launched, we’re wondering if it’s playable on Steam Deck?
Team Ninja’s latest game transports players into a fantasy world based on China’s Three Kingdoms period. Players need to learn to cast elemental spells and perform close-range attacks to defeat the game’s dead enemies, with the help of one of five “Divine Beasts”.
So, with in-depth combat a central part of Wo-Lang: Fallen Dynasty, we’re keen to know if Wo Lang Fallen Dynasty is playable on Steam Deck. The answer is kind of, but you’ll have to make a lot of compromises.
Is Wo Long Fallen Dynasty playable on Steam Deck?
The game isn’t supported on Steam Deck according to the game’s official website. However, this doesn’t mean that the game isn’t playable.
Rather, it looks like you can play Wo Long Fallen Dynasty on Steam Deck, just don’t expect a smooth or particularly enjoyable experience. There might be patches that are released later that will make the game more playful, but we haven’t heard anything to confirm this.
Overall, we’d say that Wo Long Fallen Dynasty is playable on Steam Deck, just be prepared for minor stutters and freezes, as well as poorer graphics and frame rates. As an alternative, you can always check out some of the games that are like Wo Long Fallen Dyanasty.
Using CyroUtilities is one potential solution that might have helped make Wo Long Fallen Dynasty more playable on Steam Deck. For those who don’t know, CyroUtilities is a suite of tools aimed to help games run better on Steam Deck. However, because Wo Long Fallen Dynasty is GPU heavy, it’s sadly not the solution we were hoping for.
If you have access to alternate platforms, we recommend playing the game via them instead. That includes PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store. Make sure that you’ve got the best graphics settings to play the game too.
So, if you have no other choice but to play the game on Steam Deck, expect a fairly low FPS and degraded graphics, which is a shame because we’re big fans of the world Team Ninja has created.
