Over 11,000 games now rated Steam Deck Playable

By - | Views: 44,059

There's currently somewhere around 92,000 games on Steam and so it's going to take a long time for Valve to check them all on Steam Deck but here's some recent picks.

Currently there are 11,007 games rated Playable or Verified! With 7,254 Playable and 3,753 Verified, and also 3,296 Unsupported. So Valve are making pretty good progress on it, although it's not a perfect system there's a huge amount of games you can take with you on the go, or sat on your sofa.

Recently some pretty interesting games have been set as fully Verified including:

Quoting: Liam DaweThe point is to play more games and Proton is a constant win.

If the point was to play more games and nothing beyond, I would install Windows.

Obviously, there's something else, something more (or we wouldn't be here), and everybody is free to draw their line where it feels right for them.
I get what you’re trying to say, but there’s a big difference. One is Windows, one is just a compatibility layer on Linux. Yeah people can draw whatever line they want, doesn’t mean the line makes sense.

My line is not yours to judge, Liam. I'm not religious about it (I do buy games to run under Proton for my children e.g.), but I personally did not install Linux to run exes and dlls, and that's a reasonable line, just as others are.

I could talk more about it, about second and third class customers and the like, but all of us have been through this often enough. I just want other stances to get the same respect.

Well, we all judge and debate each other, it’s part of why we have comments after all 😜, I just find it an odd stance to have really. As if it truly matters what’s running behind it.

I will just stop engaging in these native vs proton comments if i can help it 😂. I just want people to have fun with games, on Linux, but this repeating “would get if native” is tiresome to see repeatedly so often when people can literally click a button and play it. ✌️

Be fair Liam. You had the same Linux-only stance for a good while. You've obviously given up on that and that's fine, but you don't need to act so condescending towards the minority here who still like to support Linux games exclusively. It doesn't hurt anyone.

I only buy native simply because I can't possibly buy and play every interesting game out there anyway. Giving my cash to developers who make the effort to support Linux gives me the warm fuzzies, so that's as good a rule as any to follow. Even with 99% native games on my wishlist, I never seem to be able to keep it to a reasonable size anyway. More than 200 Linux native games on it right at this moment, and that's just the Steam wishlist.

Well, apologies due if anyone thinks I am being condescending. We all have our stances on things. Happy gaming ✌️
