Valve doing more of a Steam Deck push with their Steam Deck Verified game pages

Valve are still pushing their Steam Deck ahead with many developers now adding their own special dedicated Steam Deck Verified page.

These special areas on Steam give an uncluttered page that highlights how well a game can run on Steam Deck, it's a really neat idea to help cut through the noise. Just the game, a trailer and a link to the store page for the Steam Deck and for the game. This gives developers an easy link to advertise that their game is fully supported on the Linux powered Steam Deck.

An example below is the Hollow Knight: Silksong page:

They've actually been around for a while, as far back as 2023 from what I can tell, as I've seen a few developers (and Valve) announce them for specific games. However, there's currently no normal link to these pages on Steam that I could find. It's mainly up to developers to show them off but you can just use "https://store.steampowered.com/verified/*APPID*" and it will work (but only if they're fully green tick Verified).

It appears that Valve have recently begun emailing more developers (Bluesky) if their game is Steam Deck Verified. As a result, I've been seeing a lot of developers suddenly post about their games being Steam Deck Verified across different social media sites.

Great to see more of a push from Valve again. Especially given how ridiculously costly other handhelds are, with the Steam Deck holding up well against the competition (aside from playability of the latest AAA games or those with anti-cheat).
