Every now and then, a game usually comes out that manages to capture the attention of a large number of people, and it’s clear that Black Myth: Wukong is the new game that has managed to become a great success, managing to enter the top 5 games with the highest number of simultaneous players on Steam. But it is very likely that many people will want to enjoy this title that tells the story of Wu Kong on other devices such as consoles laptopsso we’re going to explain how it works on both the Steam Deck and the Asus ROG Ally.
Most of the games that we can find today tend to have a series of problems when running on devices that have lower performance than a normal mid-high-end PC. Generally speaking, portable consoles usually offer the possibility of playing practically any game with the graphics at a minimum, as well as some optimization options and others, and in this case, here is how it works with one of the best graphic games we have seen. lately.
This is how Black Myth: Wukong performed on the most popular handheld consoles
It is increasingly common to see that all games work on portable consoles, but it must be remembered that if the Asus ROG Ally uses an operating system based on Windows 11, which makes it compatible with any game without any additional configuration, Steam Deck uses its own operating system. To test in this case, it was not possible to use the Steam version of the game on Valve’s own console, which means that it is obviously not really optimized, mainly because the operating system does not yet support Black Myth: Wukong.
That is why to start it, it is necessary to use the latest experimental version of Proton, and the performance it offers is quite bad, and it is practically limited to 30 FPS with the graphics at a minimum, which makes it absolutely necessary to activate all the optimization technologies to be able to play it. With the graphics completely at a minimum, it usually stays around 33 FPS, with a minimum of 23 FPS, while between the two we would lose about 10 FPS on average and about 6 FPS at a minimum, that is, it runs at 23 FPS on average and 18 FPS on average.
On the other hand, the Asus ROG Ally, as you can imagine, offers much higher performance, and is able to move the game natively (due to the OS it uses) between 30 and 50 FPS on average depending on the consumption configuration that you have. In the case of the 15 W configuration, the game manages to reach an average of 39 FPS with minimum graphics and a resolution of 1280 x 720, while on average they drop to 29 FPS, with a minimum of 28 and 22 FPS respectively.
With the 25W configuration we can see that it improves a lot, and on average it manages to reach 51 FPS with low graphics and a resolution of 1280 x 720, while on average it manages to reach up to 39 FPS with minimums of 36 and 30 frames per second.
