  It should be noted that a lot of ‘unknown’ and even ‘unsupported’ games work just fine, so it’s hard to say what the actual number of ‘playable’+ games is.

  As an example - Resident Evil 5 is currently marked as ‘unsupported’, but works flawlessly out of the box. So far I’ve played for about 15 hours and the experience has been perfect.

    Yeah, the number of “unsupported” games that I played and finished on my steam deck is higher that one would expect.

      I’ll just add that this has been my experience, as well.

      There may be done bias in my data set, as don’t buy “unsupported” games. But a surprising number of “unsupported” games I bought before I got a SteamDeck just work anyway.

    I have been wondering if it is because of updates from the devs, how often do valve recheck verifierade games?

  Hell yeah.

  When in doubt, ProtonDB also has a “Steam Deck” tab for reports.

  Usually controller support is enough, though.

  This is great news!

  I do feel like for some of these games being labeled as playable, by a lot of people’s standards I don’t think they would say they’re enjoyable to play in the state they are presented.

  For example Expedition 33 is labeled as Steam Deck verified, but the quality is very poor, that I’m not sure I would be able to stand playing for long. Instead I’ve had to set up to stream from my PC.

  Still great news though, and I hope the steam deck is considered more in the future when games are being made.

    Same with Avowed. It’s such a blurry mess, I don’t see how anyone can play it on the deck. It does make me question every game now, even when it says verified.

    Still, there are tons of games that look and play amazing on it.

      Guess we need a community Steam Deck verified tag
