Infinity Nikki is out for PCs, and by extension, handheld gaming devices such as the Steam Deck and ROG Ally. While the Steam Deck does involve a fair bit of tinkering to get the game up and running, the ROG Ally can play it with little to no issues.
This is thanks to the Ally using Windows instead of Linux, which means that the install process is a fair bit simpler.
However, you will need to play around with the settings a bit in order to ensure smoother performance and better battery life.

ROG Ally settings
- Operating Mode: Manual (18 W)

- AMD RSR: Off
- CPU Boost: Disabled
- Resolution: Keep this unchanged from 1080p
- AMD RIS: On
- FPS Limiter: Disable to take advantage of VRR
- AFMF: Disabled; best to leave disabled since it causes additional latency
- Recommended VRAM: 6 to 8 GB – 8 GB is recommended for the ROG Ally X while those with the original Ally should stick to 6 GB.
Expect around 60-50 frames per second with the combination of settings and TDP above – along with 1.5 hours of battery life on the ROG Ally. Those with the ROG Ally X can expect roughly double (3 hours) of gameplay time instead.
