520 games are now rated either Verified or Playable for Steam Deck

By -

As we hit less than two weeks until the Steam Deck launch on February 25, Valve appear to be doing well on the testing front with 520 games now either fully Verified or Playable.

Each day now a good bunch seem to trickle in together. At this rate of progress per-day, we're perhaps going to see close to 1,000 either Verified or Playable by launch. That is, unless this is all still early testing of their processes and we might see a bigger bump closer to launch which is entirely possible. Either way, it's already a rather nice number. The amount only tells so much though, quality over quantity of course and there's a lot of good picks already.

The totals currently are 309 Verified, 211 Playable and 60 Unsupported. Two days ago there were only 243 Verified!

Here's the current Verified list at time of writing:

The big thing to remember is that any of this can change before launch, it's not a final list and games can be updated at any time to change their rating. That's true now and will be so after release.

For the Unsupported list, there's a few now noted due to the anti-cheat not supporting Linux / Proton like: Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege and Back 4 Blood.

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.

My library right now:
VERIFIED: 131 games
PLAYABLE: 100 games
UNSUPPORTED: 30 games

These proportions are looking good.

For comparison, that's more than were ever released for the N64 (~300) and the Nintendo Wii U (~150) put together. Pretty nice launch already! :D

So Valve are validating games that are no longer available to purchase.

Was going to buy "Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition" but it is no longer available to purchase on steam.

If you own it since old then you can still install it on the deck. And the initial main market for the deck is most likely already steam users with a huge library of windows games.

I wonder why so much of your library already has got a tag.
These are my numbers:
VERIFIED: 12 games (3.41%)
PLAYABLE: 8 games (2.27%)
UNSUPPORTED: 1 games (0.28%) (That's Insurgency.)
UNKNOWN: 331 games (94.03%)

I don't have unsupported at all. Lot of unknown though.

With my library I would have 33 verified games and 22 playable games. Not bad result as such as in theoretical situation that I would justify for myself why I would need Steam Deck, I would have something to play for a while. And plenty to buy from store.

I would think as long as every niche has something playable available, there should be plenty of happy Steam Deck users. Unhappy ones might be those that don't have another device to play the popular multiplayer game that hasn't enabled anti-cheat for Linux.

Well, they shouldn't need to. New Proton versions shouldn't break any games, at all, as each update is supposed to be expanding and improving the translation. The reality is different of course but the other side is also that games can be set to specific Proton versions so they will likely do that for a number of games. It *should* technically get to a point where breakage isn't an issue, and if it is there will be a point where breakage in Proton / Wine is breakage on Windows. There's a lot of points to think on.

More than that: about 64,000.
Lamdarer Feb 12, 2022
Some games that run fine on Linux are marked as Unsupported on the SteamDeck, Planetside 2 for instance.
I wonder why, maybe some of the tests are already outdated, or the Tests where not done with the BattlEye Runtime

I wish I knew the secret for Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order. It's listed as playable, but I can't even get it to start on my machine, or any other Origin+Steam game.

You can still get a steam key for it for under $10. Check this link.

Verified games should be kept on the Proton version they were verified with. The only case Proton should be updated for those is if the game gets patched and it no longer works.

Or perhaps when Linux gets updated so much a given Proton version no longer works period, but that should be rather rare.

Newer versions of Proton have and will break games that used to work before.

Somewhat better but also not good:

PLAYABLE: 26 games (9.12%)
UNSUPPORTED: 1 games (0.35%)
UNKNOWN: 223 games (78.25%)

With Insurgency being unsupported. Shame.

Most are unknown. Most native Linux games. And among them also Valves own games: Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Counter-Strike, Portal (1) and Artifact. Dota2 probably too, but I don't have it in my library.

that is good for people who already purchased those.
unlike me , who were waiting for the games to work on linux/officialy support linux, then missed the boat because i cant purchase then anymore and have to pirate since they arent avaliable for sale anywhere ¬¬
Mrowl Feb 12, 2022
I'm still hoping for Phantasy Star Online 2 / New Genesis to be playable, but it relies on Asian Anti Cheat. The Steam Deck was basically designed for PSO2, as it originally even came to the Vita, and Steam Deck is basically for the same demographic who loved the Vita.
Purple Library Guy Feb 12, 2022
So OK, unsurprisingly people's game libraries contain a LOT of Unknown. But if the Unknown have similar proportions to the ones already tested, the prospects are pretty good.

Wonder why Planetside 2 is marked as unsupported due to anti-cheat, seeing as it's working perfectly on regular Linux/Proton - they've enabled the BattlEye support after all.
