Can I play Blue Prince on Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and other gaming handhelds?
Yes. Blue Prince is largely a puzzle game that doesn't have very intensive system requirements and doesn't take up a lot of storage space. As such, it should run well on most handhelds.
However, in-game text can be small, which could make it difficult to read in some parts of the game.
We'll have to verify for sure when Blue Prince releases, but it seems very likely that it will run very well on Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Ally X, Legion Go, and other gaming handhelds.

Blue Prince's recommended system requirements really aren't that intensive, and it only requires a tiny 6GB of space on your handheld's SSD.
That's really small, especially when compared against the massive storage space requirements of larger games like STALKER 2.
Is Blue Prince Steam Deck Verified?
No. Blue Prince isn't Steam Deck Verified. However, it is marked as "Playable" on Steam Deck.
It seems the only thing keeping it from being "Verified" is that "Some in-game text is small and may be difficult to read."
Of course, some game menus allow you to increase text sizes, so this will be something to check for when Blue Prince releases.
Are you going to play Blue Prince?
It seems possible that Blue Prince could become one of this year's best Xbox games as well as one of the best indie games.
Since the game's recommended system requirements are pretty lax, it seems likely that it should be able to run well on handhelds.
That's especially true since it offers full Xbox Controller and DualSense Controller support, so it should be easy to navigate using handheld controls.
