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.

With Insurgency being unsupported. Shame.

What's the matter with Insurgency?
I started it up, it's native... what is not working?
kernelkid Feb 12, 2022
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.

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 ¬¬

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

i'm not a fan of Mortal kombat, actually i havent played much to know if the game is any good...
but what about Residetn Evil 2 and 3 (classic, not the remake)
can i buy it too?

i dont trust those key resellers that much, but in that case i dont have much of an option

Default settings work on the Steam Deck's hardware? Fully playable with a controller?

I'm sure there are plenty of games that support Linux just fine, but aren't playable on the Deck out of the box for some reason.

It's (my only game for now) in the "unsupported" category: They say it doesn't work. So it's not a controller or font size thing or something along those lines.

My library (thanks @pb):
VERIFIED: 11 games (6.88%)
PLAYABLE: 10 games (6.25%)
UNSUPPORTED: 0 games (0.0%)
UNKNOWN: 139 games (86.88%)

Realistically, of those unknown I'm pretty sure all but 5* will be at least playable (in the sense that they will at least start and run), since they already work on my current machine. Of course not all of them will likely work well on an 8-inch screen (Paradox games, for instance), but I'm sure I'll still have plenty.

On the "newly verified in my library" front I note with interest Strange Horticulture (a puzzle game about identifying fictional plants and their uses as owner of a horticultural shop in a fantasy version of England), which only released on January 21.

*Those 5 include Eufloria and Q.U.B.E., both of whose original versions don't work with Proton but for both of which I also got a free copy of the refurbished edition which does, two non-game programs, and, amusingly enough, my "Steam Deck deposit". .

Well, when you got your Steam Deck, the deposit is gone, so you cannot use them together! ;)

We already know from ProtonDB.com that the overwhelming majority of games are running on Desktop Linux (Save multiplayer infested with DRM Anticheat)

I'm sure the Approved list will grow fast since it's mostly just a UI Mod & Full Controller support and I look forward to having more consistency so my games can be fully managed without keeb and mouse.

They may be referring to sandstorm which currently does not due to EAC

That's not including DLC. With DLC it's about 98,000.

Your 11,000 would be the number that were released just in 2021.

Nah, Just Cause 2. Never even played it.
Cybolic Feb 12, 2022
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
You've undershot a bit there, I could have sworn the Wii U had around 800 games

Anyways, I would expect this list to increase massively soon with WMA codec being worked on, exciting times ahead!

Yeah, it might be a bit undershot; I went by largest amount per region (JP/US/EU) to not count games released in all regions twice/thrice.

EDIT: Since we're all doing it:

VERIFIED:      94 games (4.97%)
PLAYABLE:      63 games (3.33%)
UNSUPPORTED:   14 games (0.74%)
UNKNOWN:     1719 games (90.95%)


Not a great ratio for me but I know most of the unknowns work on desktop so I'm not too concerned.

393 for N64
783 for Wii U

From Wikipedia. Not sure how comparing to a game system released in 1996 makes much sense though. Totally different eras from economics, technically, and socially. A more reasonable comparison would be a more recent console, the Switch (4337), or Playstation 5 (465).

I still agree with you. At 309 Verified, it's still a very nice starting launch.
Vulphere Feb 13, 2022
Still lot of unknown but Vulp is happy that both Ace Combat 7 and Valkyria Chronicles (1) made the verified list so far

VERIFIED: 8 games (7.55%)
PLAYABLE: 6 games (5.66%)
UNSUPPORTED: 3 games (2.83%)
UNKNOWN: 89 games (83.96%)

UNSUPPORTED are Black Desert (two entries) and LARA CROFT AND THE TEMPLE OF OSIRIS™
