Ori And The Will Of The Wisps To Be Playable On Steam Deck On Launch

Moon Studios, the developers behind the highly anticipated game Ori And The Will Of The Wisps, have announced that the game will be playable on launch for handheld devices such as the Steam Deck and the ROG Ally. This news comes as a welcome development for fans of the game who prefer the convenience of gaming on the go.

According to Gennadiy Korol, co-founder of Moon Studios, players can expect around 30-40fps on the Steam Deck, depending on the quality settings. While there may be dips to 20-25fps during certain moments, the game runs at a locked 60fps thanks to their ‘Game Simulation’, ensuring that the combat remains responsive and engaging.

The minimum PC specs for Ori And The Will Of The Wisps do not appear to be too demanding, making it accessible to a wide range of players. However, those looking for the optimal visual experience on recommended hardware may need to adjust their expectations.

Korol mentioned that the game’s performance on the Steam Deck is still a work in progress, with improvements planned through patches and updates post-launch. Despite some performance issues, Korol expressed excitement about how the game feels on handheld devices, highlighting the responsive input and smooth gameplay.

While the game’s official PC specs suggest a modest minimum requirement, the recommended specs for 1080p 60fps gameplay may surprise some players. Korol reassured fans that the game performs much better than the specs indicate, with tests showing steady 60fps on hardware like the 2060.

Overall, Moon Studios aims to provide a seamless gaming experience for Ori And The Will Of The Wisps across different platforms, including handheld devices. Fans can look forward to the Early Access launch and the continuous improvements and optimizations planned for the game.
