Death metal band refuses to let tour get in the way of WoW Forever, starts playing it during shows

A guitarist from The Zenith Passage played World of Warcraft: Forever on a Steam Deck beside the stage during Archspire’s headline set, as the game launched on the day of the show. The clip shows how handheld gaming lets touring musicians keep playing during a busy schedule, and highlights the game’s ability to run smoothly on portable hardware.

The footage was shared on Archspire’s Instagram. Justin McKinney was completing an early quest in Undercity before his band’s 21:00 set; the article also notes that a tech with metalcore band Cane Hill has been playing the game during performances. World of Warcraft: Forever is based on the original game, which makes it less demanding to run, and the bands have European tour dates remaining.
