Black Myth: Wukong performance on Steam Deck and other handhelds

The latest gaming news is that Black Myth: Wukong has been released, and many gamers are eager to know how it performs on their gaming handhelds. As a gaming journalist, I’ve had the opportunity to test the game on various devices, including the Steam Deck, Lenovo Legion Go, and ASUS ROG Ally.

Can I play Black Myth: Wukong on Steam Deck?

The short answer is yes, you can play Black Myth: Wukong on Steam Deck, but you’ll need to adjust the settings to get the best performance. According to our benchmark testing, the Steam Deck can achieve an average of 49 frames per second (FPS), with a maximum FPS of 57 and a minimum of 40. These results are impressive, but keep in mind that the benchmarking tool doesn’t include combat scenes, which might cause performance troubles.

To achieve the best results on Steam Deck, you’ll need to turn down the graphical settings to low and enable performance-boosting technologies like Super Resolution and Frame Generation. You can also disable ray tracing to further improve performance.

Performance on Legion Go and other handhelds

But what about more powerful handhelds like the Lenovo Legion Go, ASUS ROG Ally, or the new ROG Ally X? We’ve had the opportunity to run Black Myth: Wukong’s benchmark tests on Lenovo’s device, and the results indicate that users of these systems have an even better experience to look forward to.

On the Legion Go, you can push for Medium-level visuals while still matching the Steam Deck’s average framerate. This means you can enjoy a more immersive gaming experience with better graphics and smoother performance.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Black Myth: Wukong is a demanding game that requires careful adjustments to achieve the best performance on gaming handhelds. While the Steam Deck can handle the game at low settings, more powerful handhelds like the Lenovo Legion Go and ASUS ROG Ally offer a more immersive experience with better graphics and smoother performance. Whether you’re a fan of action-packed games or just looking for a challenge, Black Myth: Wukong is definitely worth trying on your gaming handheld.
