Many gamers are wondering whether you can play Diablo 4 on ASUS ROG Ally, and what you could expect for the performance.
The launch of Diablo 4 on June 6th is coming up hard and fast, and so is the release of the ASUS ROG Ally, a new premium handheld device that has looked pretty promising since its announcement back in April. Not only will the ROG Ally be 4K, but will also feature an RDNA 3 GPU and Zen 4 CPU. There’s even the option to hook up an external GPU for even more power. It sounds like the two could make for a pretty good combo.
Diablo fans will be thrilled to learn that Diablo 4 will run on the ASUS ROG Ally, natively. The Diablo 4 system requirements will be no match for the handheld PC, while its loyalty to the Xbox style controller layout makes it ideal to take advantage of Diablo 4’s excellent controller support. This news will come as blow to Steam Deck users. The ROG Ally’s Windows 11 operating system is crucial to launching the Battle.net app which you need if you want to download Diablo 4.
So, now we know that you can play Diablo 4 on ROG Ally, our next question is whether you’d want to.
ASUS ROG Ally Diablo 4 compatibility
So, now that we’ve established that you’ll be able to play Diablo 4 on ROG Ally, how compatible will it be? If you’re wondering whether to use keyboard or controller for Diablo 4, the ROG Ally actually allows both, though we recommend taking advantage of Diablo 4’s controller support. The main limitation to the ROG Ally’s compatibility with Diablo 4 is the battery life. Diablo 4 will be a demanding game, meaning you can expect the battery life to only last about two hours. There’s still the option to game as the handheld charges, but understandably, this will be a letdown for some gamers.
