Still nothing compared to the overall Steam library but we do fully expect a lot more titles to appear. This is just the beginning and not being verified doesn't mean a game won't work.

What we're seeing shape up here, is easily going to be the most incredible launch line-up of games for anything - ever. Place your bets, what do you think the total number of Deck Verified titles will be on February 25 when the Steam Deck hits the official launch?
This is only those titles fully Verified too as there's also now 111 titles that are marked as Playable like Factorio, RimWorld, The Witcher 3, Deep Rock Galactic, Valheim, Morrowind, Path of Exile and the list goes on. Some of the reasons being text too small, manual graphics settings adjustments needed, launchers, spotty gamepad support and so on. We expect many of the Playable titles to improve or even get Verified before the Steam Deck launches.
Have you decided on the first game you will be loading up yet?
Thanks to the LambdaControls mod, you can play Minecraft Java with a Controller, and it's often better than playing Minecraft Bedrock with a Controller, simply because the mod is so modular and configurable.
Tho if there will ever be a mod that supports Gyro controls for Minecraft, that would be the non plus ultra.
First game? Hm, I'm thinking Stardew Valley would be perfect for the Deck.
The Katamari games were amongst my absolute favourite games on the PSP.
Quoting: mtFirst game I'll be trying, just for the sake of it, Minecraft.
Conveniently the launcher is on Flathub so you don't have to bother with "developer mode" and such.
