Want to know how much of your own Steam Library is currently compatible with the Steam Deck? Well, there's now a website dedicated to doing exactly that.
It's called CheckMyDeck (great name) and all you need to do is grab your SteamID, enter it and it will do all the work for you. You can find your SteamID easily using this other website. The main thing to keep in mind though, is that compatibility is an ever-changing thing, with Valve adding to the list almost daily. We mentioned only a few days ago how Verified + Playable together hit 520 games, well as of right now it's already jumped up to 591!
As for CheckMyDeck, it's pretty good actually. Giving you a full list with links to each store page, along with a very tidy looking pie to give an overall score:
A slice of my own status right now.
Another big thing to remember is that a game being Unknown doesn't mean much - it just hasn't been tested yet, and so it might end up being a flawless experience.
Quoting: CatKillerUnfortunately, the largest number is outright garbage, shovelware, asset flip, cashgrab. Just yesterday I came across an arguing between two indie 'devs' in the reviews for the game VILLAGE THE SIBERA in their review they link the UE4 marketplace items the developer of this game blatantly throws together to call it a game, on top he reuses these asset in more of his 'games', such as Ebola, Ebola 2 and guess what? Soon, Ebola 3 releases.Quoting: lectrodethe 10s of thousands of games in the steam catalogue (10,263 according to google).64,364 today. It'll be more tomorrow. That's just games; there's DLC and non-game software, too.
Well, the other doesn't simply throw together assets but they release garbage games as well, some Snake game looking like Paint in '98.
Not to lessen the work it requires to create seemingly simple games, but I'm not going to a market to be presented poorly homemade hobbyworks, or to a restaurant to have another visitor scramble together some eggs and sell it to me as a dish.
That's what you have with a open, automated platform like that, in a curated store such as Epic, Ubisoft Connect, Origin or the Apple Store you wont find garbage like that because they curate each game by hand.
When the surge of garbage began rolling in Valve put in place the Greenlight system, based on a public voting system games would be voted for or against being published on Steam, it was manipulated and therefor discontinued and replaced by Steam Direct, but truth is there's probably more trash being released on Steam than ever before.
So much for 65k 'games' on Steam, Valve should be forced to play each and every of them to see where they went wrong.
Quoting: basedBlack Squad unsupported? That has to be a mistake, right? I'm playing it on Linux without issues, just gotta have BattlEye thing installed from the library
SteamDeck Verified also takes into account support for the handheld and onscreen controls and is just not the exact same thing as supported by Proton or even running on Linux natively.

EDIT: After further investigation (as in just checking Playable category) that can not be the case. otherwise e.g. RimWorld would not be in Playable

There's the big category "Playable" between those two, though. At the moment, we see games not working properly (like multiplayer games with dysfunctional anti cheat) and games just way too "heavy" for Steam Deck (like VR games) in the Unsupported category.

- VERIFIED: 20 games (4.11%)
- PLAYABLE: 45 games (9.24%)
- UNSUPPORTED: 8 games (1.64%)
- UNKNOWN: 414 games (85.01%)
I suspect many are not supported because they have no controller input. Either way I AM excited to get mine.
According to a recent interview with Gabe Newell (I can't remember where I read it...), Australia is supposedly a top-priority for the next region in which to release the Steam Deck, so I will be watching this website very closely...
My library (2 /3 of which is random crap) - 10% Playable+
- Verified: 6 Games (4.23%)
- Playable: 8 Games (5.63%)
- Unsupported: 1 Game (0.7%)
- Unknown: 127 Games (89.44%)
Hope this gets fixed before release.
One of the reasons I pre-ordered a deck was to play DR1 & 2 not the verified DR4.
Atleast, Wreckfest is considered PLAYABLE.
VERIFIED: 153 games (1.94%)
PLAYABLE: 112 games (1.42%)
UNSUPPORTED: 42 games (0.53%)
UNKNOWN: 7588 games (96.11%)
I have no intentions of getting steam deck but this stuff still helps for my machine :)
