Steam Deck hits 3,000 verified or playable games

pcgamer.com:

Valve's portable PC hybrid the Steam Deck(opens in new tab) is a very well-received piece of kit. The ability to play PC games on the go has made it a popular device among those lucky enough to have secured one. There have been a few complaints though, such as a loud fan(opens in new tab) and a slightly limited library of games.

Steam Decks themselves aren't really any easier to get, but Valve has certainly been working on the other issues. The fans are being constantly updated(opens in new tab) and improved on(opens in new tab), and so is that library of games. Gaming on Linux(opens in new tab) recently noted that there are now over 3,000 playable titles available for the Steam Deck. 

The numbers break down into 1565 verified and 1535 playable games according to SteamDB(opens in new tab) at time of writing. Verified games have been checked by Valve and are confirmed to be working basically perfectly with the Steam Deck system. Playable games can vary in quality when running on the Steam Deck, but many are as good or close enough to those in the verified category.

While the games included in the verified and playable rankings for the Steam Deck are a bit random, it's still good to see that number go up every time I look. Some of the newest titles to be added to the list include the rhythm violence game Thumper(opens in new tab), and the monster collector and battler Temtem, which is set to come out of early access in September this year.
