How to Check if Games Are Steam Deck Compatible

howtogeek.com:

Valve’s Steam Deck runs SteamOS, but it can also run a lot of your favorite Windows PC games. However, not everything runs on SteamOS—and the Steam Deck’s hardware may not be powerful enough to run some high-end, graphically demanding games. Here’s how to check what’s compatible.

How to Use the Steam Deck Compatibility Checker How to Find Out Which of Your Games Are Steam Deck Verified How to Check Each of Your Games' Steam Deck Compatibility Details How to See the Steam Deck Verified Games List

Valve has an official Steam web page lets you see exactly which of the games in your library are compatible with the Steam Deck. Visit the Your Library on Deck page and sign in with your Steam account to learn more.

Valve says the Steam Deck Review Team is working daily to test games and see if they’re compatible. You may want to check back regularly to see if more of the games in your library have been added to the verified list.

Compatibility with the Steam Deck isn’t just a “yes or no” answer. Some games have been fully verified, while others are only “playable.” Some games in your library will be unsupported or untested for Steam Deck compatibility. Here’s what each of these terms means:

You don’t need to check the compatibility details for verified games; they’ve been fully tested and Valve says they are 100% playable on the Steam Deck. However, for the games listed as “Playable,” you should definitely check out the details so that you know what features are supported and which are not.

To check the compatibility details of playable games, scroll down to the “Playable” section and mouse over the game you want to check. When you do, you’ll see a small pop-up window with a button containing the text “Steam Deck Compatibility.”
