PayPalGood news for players on Steam Deck and SteamOS, as the Steam Deck Verified system just hit 19,000 games that are rated either Verified or Playable.
Valve did also just recently announce a new dedicated SteamOS Compatibility system too, although that will simply say if something is compatible or not. So if a game is Steam Deck Playable at least (or higher like Verified), it will also be SteamOS Compatible. At the end of April we also had the first Proton 10 Beta to increase game compatibility!
At time of writing there are:
- Playable 12,841
- Verified 6,216
- Unsupported 4,798
A number of those that are Unsupported will be due to the anti-cheat.

Some games that were recently rated Verified include:
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

Nineteenthousand games. How am I ever going to choose what to play?

So far only one of the games I'm interested in has been unplayable on Deck, and that is Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions which was already kinda shoddy on my windows computer and probably just isn't fixed due to it being delisted. I hope someday proton happens to fix its issues by coincidence, but otherwise its been smooth sailing.

Have you ever tried to run Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions on the Steam Deck? Sometimes, there are games listed as Unplayable that end up working fine and I've tried this on a couple of Unplayable games that I own on Steam.
Here's a video of someone getting it to work on the Steam Deck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jqc-xve1Ay8

It wasn't that long ago we were at 10,000 and very soon I'm sure we'll see 20,000.
If you told me this as a Linux user 20 years ago I wouldn't believe we could have come so far so quickly. I was barely playing Counter Strike Source and BroodWar on Ubuntu with Beryl and Compiz.

I imagine at some point soon, this will need to diverge. As I recall, there are some games that are flagged as Unsupported on Steam Deck, due to "graphics settings cannot be configured to run well", or something similar, even though they have native Linux versions, or have good compatibility ratings on ProtonDB.

SteamOS devices might be as weak as SteamDeck or weaker... The only way I could see that happen would be some coarse grained performance classes.
