Buzz surrounding the upcoming Steam Deck system has begun to increase again, after having a bit of a lull towards the latter parts of 2021. With Valve now saying the handheld PC is on track for a February release, this could explain why a lot of people have started talking about it again. Of course, the main thing that everyone wants to know is how well it'll be able to play some of the biggest releases.

According to a database uploaded to SteamDB, a third-party website which keeps a close eye on all things related to Valve's proprietary properties, including the Steam Deck, dozens of games are now being listed with their suitability for the device being shown as well. At the time of writing, there are 86 games in the database, no doubt with more being added. However, this does not necessarily mean that all the games there will be 100% compatible with the Deck just yet.

However, games like Titanfall 2 are currently showing as "playable" which likely means that the game will run, but perhaps be missing some functions or will need some tweaking.

While things seem to be coming along nicely, 86 is a far cry from the more than 50,000 games that the Steam platform currently houses. Valve did hire
