Steam Deck Verified jumps to over 240 titles

By - | Views: 27,378

Each day we're stepping ever close to the Steam Deck releasing and it seems Valve's testing is beginning to speed up, with now well over 200 titles now fully Steam Deck Verified. Around 6 days ago, it was only at 120.

The actual number is 243 according to the unofficial SteamDB tracker. An impressive amount of course though, one that absolutely dwarfs any of the modern console launches from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo and it's only going to get bigger before release.

If you include titles only tagged by Valve as "Playable", so they should still run but they will have certain issues from text that's too small to a single-player gaming needing online activation - there's 412 you can expect to see running out of the box.

What game are you hoping to see gets fixed up and Deck Verified ready for release? Do let us know in the comments.

Waiting for a windows user to say "But there's not enough games for SteamOS!"
MasterSleort Feb 10, 2022
I wonder whether Crosscode is going to be playable. It has a native build, but that one completely messes up the controls, which makes it unplayable with the native build.
The developers say that it is a problem with are JavaScript library they depend on and thus "are unable to fix it".
I hope the steam deck gains enough traction, so that the developers try and fix the issue.
This game seems such a great fit for this device.

I just check this list every time it comes up for Persona 5. Not a game I play, but a friend was complaining it wasn't verified.

Which I don't think people understand is that not verified doesn't mean it won't run. Just that valve hasn't confirmed it to be an out of the box one click run.

Surprised Hitman 2 isn't on that list; hell Hitman 3, considering both run under Proton pretty well.
MasterSleort Feb 10, 2022
Quoting: GuestI'd love to see a verified for proton icon for the steam store alongside the other operating system icons.

Technically there already is, as games that are verified for proton are "whitelisted" and gets added a Steam icon (the one you would normally associate with Linux support).

Quoting: DribbleondoSurprised Hitman 2 isn't on that list; hell Hitman 3, considering both run under Proton pretty well.

If "runs on proton" was the only criteria, a lot of games would be on the list. But games get evaluated for the form factor and input too. If you fonts are too small, you need to manually pull up the on screen keyboard for something, your controller icon glyphs are wrong, etc you don't get a verified tick.

I think most Deck users will fall into the habit of at least checking games in the "Playable" category to see if they are ok with the stated reasons.

Linus from LTT recommended it to a viewer during his steamdeck teardown video, though I don't know if he tried it on SD. Hopefully it will be sorted out before long, it is sitting in my library waiting to be played on the deck. ;-)

H2 and H3 have the same fonts as the first Hitman, it's basically the same engine but updated, and they have zero problems* running on Linux via Proton, so I guess it's just a matter of time before they get a tick.

(*) the only notable difference between H and H2 for me was inability to use controller and mouse at the same time in H2. In Hitman I customarily used controller for movement and mouse for aiming when sniping or during shootouts, in H2 it wasn't possible, I had to use either controller or keyboard+mouse. Though I have no idea if it was a matter of native build vs proton or they just changed something in the game engine.
