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?

First game I'll be trying, just for the sake of it, Minecraft.
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.

Put me down for 500 verified games by launch on Feb 25th.
First game? Hm, I'm thinking Stardew Valley would be perfect for the Deck.

Katamari would definitely have been my first game on it. That's such a cute little game that is excellent for handheld.
The Katamari games were amongst my absolute favourite games on the PSP.

Conveniently the launcher is on Flathub so you don't have to bother with "developer mode" and such.

Firewatch is verified now. Might be a good one to test 3d control without being rushed.

Probably going to play a round of Stellaris - or an RTS like Timerborn - the first I do, it was how I christened my Steam Controller after all. (Civ: V back then)

Ohh what. I didn't even know Supaplex is on Steam. Thats my childhood. Remember playing it back in 96 or 97 or something. Looks like also linux native, might grab it just for nostalgia :)

Kind of funny to see Rocket League on there when it's no longer even available for sale. Valve is definitely "being the bigger man" in their conflict with Epic.

Witcher 3 and CP2077... I'm hoping for some nice Steam Deck surprises along the Next Gen versions releases.

That's an interesting SteamDB page BTW...
Over 20.000 Linux games on Steam now. I remember well when I wrote an article about number 1000.

Valve is definitely "being the bigger man" in their conflict with Epic.There's still around 50000 people playing Rocket League on Steam every day. And Valve doesn't really have a conflict with Epic. It's Epic that has a conflict with Valve.

there are still 50000 ppl playing it (peak on steam) and 10mio+ steam users have this game

of course they want to play it on the deck
it is more surprising, that just hitman is on the list. 2+3 are basically the same game and but i wouldnt even play hitman 1. i would play it within hitman 2 with the new mechanics

... And that's actually a problem. Hitman runs better on Proton, there is a sound issue with the native version. The sounds behind you are not audible. Not optimal for a stealth game. You only hear the ~180 degrees in front of you.
So they should override with proton on this one. And I doubt they have...

1000 Verified games for launch! Because they can, it would be a record for any hardware launch that would be very hard to match for quite a while, and it would make a really nice headlines.
