Along with a whole bunch of other games going through Valve's verification recently, some major upcoming releases are fully Steam Deck Verified.
It's good to see Valve getting in testing early on some popular upcoming titles, so at least we know they will launch without issues on Steam Deck / SteamOS and other Linux systems. Performance is always a concern though, with Valve's verification process not always making the most sense on what manages to get fully Verified.
Here's some recently Steam Deck Verified upcoming games:

Quoting: StellaI've seen how the leaked build of Forza Horizon 6 runs on the Deck and it doesn't even manage to hold 30 while being extremely CPU bound. That is not Verified Material.I don't think Lego Batman is going to run well either given the minimum recommended specs list 16GB RAM, upscaling and framgen for lowest detail @1080p/30FPS...
Optimization really is a lost art.
If some random person buys a steam deck and sees that the new Forza open world driving game is "verified" they'll probably be super excited! Then they will load it up and it'll run like complete ass and get like 20 fps which is unusable in a fast paced driving game, and they'll never trust any "verified" other game ever again. 😡
