Do yourself a favour and get a dock or USB Type-C Ethernet Dongle if you download a lot. That said, follow this guide and if the speeds improve.

What is the advantage of this over Heroic Games Launcher?

Sonic Origins

Yes, offline play is fine. Keep in mind that Denuvo games need you to go online once every few weeks for activation. If you play anything on Epic Games Launcher (or Heroic Games Launcher), I’d recommend launching a game once every few weeks to stop Epic Games from signing out.

2-4 fps improvement with battery life. ROG Ally will still outperform the Steam Deck OLED.

Steam Deck’s battery still isn’t great, but OLED should bring some improvements. I would say even with the improvements, you will still get low battery life if you are playing any AAA titles.

If I were you and wanted to save money, I’d just get a quality portable battery bank and just wait for Steam Deck 2.

That said, the trackpads on the Steam Deck are pretty great, I use them all the time and couldn’t imagine using the ROG Ally.

Awesome, what other online games work at the moment? I’d like to play before Nintendo shuts down the servers for good.
