PayPalNot too long after hitting 12,000 games, the Steam Deck now officially has over 13,000 games rated either Verified or Playable. There must be a little something for every type of gamer now right? My backlog is terrifying.
At time of writing the current numbers are:
- Verified: 4,355
- Playable: 8,751
- Unsupported: 3,720
You can check out the full list on SteamDB. Their list includes titles that have been hidden on Steam, but they still count and are still tested, as anyone who owns them can still download and play. There's various reasons games get hidden like music licenses expiring, developers going bust and so on.
Remember though: if a game hasn't been through Deck Verified to get a rating, you can still download and play it. Valve don't block you from trying, Deck Verified is simply what Valve have tested officially.
For Unsupported games though, that can be for a whole different bag of reasons. From pesky anti-cheat to features that Steam Play Proton just doesn't yet work well with or support at all, as the Proton compatibility layer to run Windows games on Linux systems is a constant work in progress.
What games are you waiting and hoping will move from Unsupported to Verified one day? Just don't expect Fortnite to work any time soon.

the bad news is the rate of growth of this list vs steam game list...
sure there are a bunch of shovelware on steam but still... the % of compatible games tend to reduce over time.
The percentage of unrated games will propably keep growing against the number of verified/playable games, thats right, but I wouldn´t use the word "compatible", because most of the unrated games are already running perfectly fine and even a huge chunk of the unsupported games can be played with little-to-no effort or drawbacks.

yeah i used the wrong term, counting the ammount of the unreated games is more accurate.
but still, if an game is not feature complete it might as well not exist in my (and many people) books.
