What games are verified for Steam Deck?
Valve’s Steam Deck is reportedly still on track for a February 2022 release, bringing handheld goodness to PC gamers everywhere. The company is currently in the process of working through the considerable catalog of games and verifying which ones are prepared for play on the new console. It’s a gradual process, but Valve has already confirmed some select titles for use, according to SteamDB.
Currently, there are three categories in use: Verified, which means the game is good to go on the new device; Playable, which means that the game functions fine but may have some issues, ranging from text size issues to problems with cross-platform saving; and Unsupported, those games that lack support for the Steam Deck altogether. This latter category is mostly comprised of VR games, which the Steam Deck explicitly does not support, but there are still one or two other games that aren’t supported at present.
If SteamDB isn’t your thing, Redditor Priception_Offical has even found a workaround to display the info on the Steam website directly, though it’s far from an elegant solution, requiring fiddling around with some Firefox settings:
In any case, here’s the current rundown of which games are Verified, Playable, and Unsupported on Steam Deck.
