We're now three weeks away from the official release date of the Steam Deck handheld Linux gaming machine. The good news is that Verified titles have been growing nicely!
Still nothing compared to the overall Steam library but we do fully expect a lot more titles to appear. This is just the beginning and not being verified doesn't mean a game won't work.

What we're seeing shape up here, is easily going to be the most incredible launch line-up of games for anything - ever. Place your bets, what do you think the total number of Deck Verified titles will be on February 25 when the Steam Deck hits the official launch?
This is only those titles fully Verified too as there's also now 111 titles that are marked as Playable like Factorio, RimWorld, The Witcher 3, Deep Rock Galactic, Valheim, Morrowind, Path of Exile and the list goes on. Some of the reasons being text too small, manual graphics settings adjustments needed, launchers, spotty gamepad support and so on. We expect many of the Playable titles to improve or even get Verified before the Steam Deck launches.
Have you decided on the first game you will be loading up yet?

It's not a dig at GOL because I know those are the official names, but it really annoys me that some games have their names in allcaps and splattered with trademark symbols. So janky.

I'm betting this will finally make companies create games that support game pads! Something that is sorely lacking in the PC gaming space.

Quoting: WildCoder1000 Verified games for launch! Because they can, it would be a record for any hardware launch that would be very hard to match for quite a while, and it would make a really nice headlines.When Gabe Newell was first talking about Steam-on-Linux he said that he wanted "all 2,500 games" (the size of the Steam catalogue at the time) to run on Linux. We've got a lot more than that now running natively because the size of the catalogue has ballooned, but a launch lineup of 2,500 Verified games would be a nice watermark.

So, press embargo for the Steam Deck lifts on Monday, I believe. Valve has been sending out review units, but it seems to be mostly so obnoxious "influencer" types. Kinda wish they'd have sent out to more Linux people.

Quoting: soulsourceQuoting: inlinuxdudeGenital Jousting? Haven't heard of that one... it sounds.... interesting.. haha
I haven't played it yet, but seen some gameplay videos. It looks absolutely hilarious.
And it has a fantastic message as well: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AxfuhLbECf4

Quoting: Guestisn't hitman one of those games that run better with proton even on windows? lolYep the game has a long-standing bug where it crashes on windows thanks to nvidia driver shenanigans but playing with DXVK fixes it. Someone even made a nice GUI to install DXVK easily

its impressive when compared to other console launchs, but its not when compared to 90.000 games avaliable on steam for windows, and even more than that avaliable for windows in general.
i hope console gamers buy this thing like hotdogs, and pc gamers dont get too inclined to install windows on it, not until most games (be it steam games or not) work on it.
then it would be too late to reverse the trend.

Having some experience with developing a cross-platform game for Linux/Windows and mobile, I feel that screen text might end being one of the bigger reasons why games that technically run on Deck will still be practically unplayable. I was absolutely stunned when I first tested my game on a 10" tablet and couldn't read a thing, when I thought the fonts were actually quite large on the standard 2k resolution. The Deck's screen is 7", so go figure!
The percentage of the Steam Library that's playable on the Deck might end up being a lot smaller than some people hope for, because unlike Switch games, Steam games weren't developed with a 7" screen in mind.

Quoting: elmapulits impressive when compared to other console launchs, but its not when compared to 90.000 games avaliable on steam for windows, and even more than that avaliable for windows in general.It's about 64,000 games on Steam (today - there are about 28 new games added each day). It's including DLC and non-game software that gets you the higher number.
