Steam Deck


First and foremost, Once Human is neither Deck Verified nor labeled as playable for the Steam Deck. So officially, the game is not listed to be supported by the Deck. According to the official FAQ (Q14), Once Human does not support controllers or the Steam Deck at launch due to ongoing technical adjustments. However, the development team is actively working to implement controller support, which is expected to be completed by August. But don’t get disheartened! Despite the initial lack of official support, player reports have shown that Once Human can be played on the Steam Deck with some adjustments. Players have successfully launched and played the game using different versions of Proton. More specifically, Proton 7.0-6, Proton 6.3-8, and GE 9.10 have helped reduce input lag, making the game more playable. Some also got the game running on the Steam Deck using Cryoutilities while others are using keyboard and mouse when docked as a workaround.


Asus Rog Ally and Lenovo Legion Go


The Asus ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go are mini PCs with superior specs compared to the Steam Deck, so it’s no surprise that Once Human can run on these devices even without official support. There are gameplay videos online that clearly show the game running smoothly on these handhelds. However, given that the developers have acknowledged controller issues and the game currently lacks full controller support, you are highly likely to encounter controller problems while playing on the ROG Ally or Legion Go.


Verdict!


In a nutshell, even though Once Human is not officially supported on the Steam Deck, Asus Rog Ally, and the Legion Go, it can still be played on these devices, albeit with some minor issues and adjustments. Now, we are hoping the developers will improve the controller experience, making the game much more accessible and enjoyable on handheld devices.


Anyway, that is all the information we have on the support of Once Human on popular handheld gaming devices. We hope this was helpful.
