We're now only a single week away from something amazing, Valve will be officially releasing the Steam Deck. Here's some updated numbers on what games you can expect to see working well. Looking back, 6 days ago we noted there we 520 games rated as Verified or Playable together and the list has just kept growing.

Current totals (649 are at least Playable now):

  • 370 - Verified
  • 279 - Playable
  • 319 - Unsupported

Keeping in mind this is all very much going through constant change, more will be added practically every day. Just because something is Unsupported for now, doesn't mean it will stay that way. Steam Play Proton is improving constantly, and developers can update their games and get them rechecked any time.

Here's the fresh list in our handy scrolling content area:

You can see the lists easily on the unofficial SteamDB:

Also, the useful ProtonDB website (also unofficial) that tracks Proton compatibility for the whole of Linux had some upgrades lately like a very handy Anti-Cheat list.

Want to see how your library stacks up? Check our article on it. Interested in how they verify between Native Linux builds and Proton? We got that covered too.

And the selection still seems super random. But then I keep seeing people excited to play things on Deck that I have never even heard of. So maybe not so random.

All games with mfplat tags in github seem to have been temporarily chucked in unsupported. I suspect they will soon retest all of those in one go.

I'm curious to know if this deck verified will work as whitelist, "locking" it to a specific proton version. Because I had issues in the past that a game stopped working after an update on proton.

This is my opinion.
I think Valve is in time that they make rules. As game developer/publisher you probably wanna be on verified list.
Here rules changes. Once you are confirmed as verified/playable you have obligation to check that your update works with Deck.
If your update breaks anything you need to work with Valve in advance to solve problem before update is applied in production.
This doesn't mean that every update will work overall for linux distros. Maybe upcoming steam OS 3.0.

A while ago I started playing it on hard, because I am no pussy that's why. Big mistake.

It is actually a really good game. One complaint I have is about the alien behavior. Without spoiling anything, sometimes it felt like in some older shooter games, when the enemy is behind a wall and does not see you, but still points their gun at you when you move around. Like it's not aware of you, but also is aware of you at the same time. Breaks the immersion a bit.

Anyway, don't play on hard.

there a lots of awesome videos about alien AI in that game. Maybe on hard it is cheating a little, but there is controller that guides that alien, alien should not know where you are, but that controller does.

How is Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order marked as playable when there is still the huge fps drop bug when entering the menu? Do they have a secret unreleased proton version for the steam deck?

How "huge" is it? I'd say e.g. a 10 fps menu(!) sounds playable.

I remember this game having issues on nvidia hardware because of a memory leak.
I guess there is less issue with AMD.

I do wonder if they really are going to go through everything. There is a ton of just complete junk/trash on Steam that even if it did "work" it's still pure rubbish that no one except for gag-gifts would buy.

That "Race On Ice" is basically Unreal's Vehicle Template with a tiny bit of UI, some quickly hacked-together levels, and that's it...

If there were more than one week of work needed to make it, I'd be very much surprised...

On a separate note... so when I say MicroSD card, is it now just going to be 'cartridges for the Steam Deck'? :P

Not sure if the marketing there is going to be awesome, or just confuse people. I need to track down some nice quality high speed MicroSD cards anyhow. Some for Deck, and some for the SCSI2SD v6 that I'm going to be ordering for my Video Flyer... not that I don't already have a freaking huge collection of microSD cards due to all the raspberry pi, MiSTer, FujiNets, etc that I have... it's kind of like a sickness, I should figure out a labeling system...

I think the article from yesterday about that testing and retesting policy seemed to indicate some form of developer submission into a "que". I'm sure that's not the only way something gets tested, but if imagine that might explain it. Developers are submitting it. Makes sense if your putting up junk to grab a few bucks, why not grab a few bucks on another platform too right?

I mean in one sense, they got more exposure for thier game by doing it then they would normally. How else would they end up on, for example, this site?

No offence to this site here, it just happens to be a very good example/use case.

I see War Thunder on the list - is the current Linux client actually working well, by now or did they test the proton version with anti cheat?

I suppose that, even though Valve keep hyping how it'll run AAA games, they have to know that not everyone is going to buy this in order to play such games, so it makes good sense to be showing off as wide a range of games as possible before release.

¿Qué? Do you mean a "queue"?

The native version work pretty well for me now and even before when I had RX 470 and was using the Vulkan beta renderer.
At the very beginning the native version had only OpenGL which was way worse than Windows DX11. Then a few years ago Vulkan beta was implemented which doubled the fps but had some bugs (black screen) in some cases and since recently (already a year maybe ?) Vulkan became the default renderer, granted the GPU supports it.

The game still has some occasional bugs and glitches, but this is not Linux related as my friend on Windows is also enjoying these same "features".
