Another round of games have gone through Valve's official testing for Steam Deck, so here's a fresh mid-July round-up of Steam Deck Verified games for you to begin your week with. Be sure to also check out my previous Verified round-up from the start of July.
Sea of Thieves: 2024 Edition
Sea of Thieves is a smash-hit pirate adventure game, offering the quintessential pirate experience of plundering lost treasures, intense battles, vanquishing sea monsters and more. Dive in with this revised edition of the game, which includes access to digital bonus media.
Easy Red 2 (Native Linux)
Fight massive battles between infantry, armored vehicles, tanks, cannons and planes. Realistically manage your weapons and equipment, coordinate with your squad, and tactically navigate large, fully destructible open world maps. Experience the WW2 in singleplayer, PVP and Co-Op.
CONSCRIPT (Releases July 23rd)
During the First World War, a lone French soldier must navigate twisted trenches, scavenge for limited supplies and solve complex puzzles - all whilst fighting for survival in the midst of mankind’s most brutal and horrifying conflict. CONSCRIPT is a new take on classic survival horror.
Until Then (Native Linux)
A fateful meeting sets off a chain reaction, upending Mark's life. People disappear and memories prove unreliable. Uncover a hidden truth with Mark and his friends in this narrative adventure and race to unravel the mystery before it's too late.
My Time at Sandrock
Travel to the desert community of Sandrock and take on the role of a fledgling Builder. Use your trusty toolset to gather resources, construct machines, and turn your run-down workshop into a well-oiled production facility to save the town from the jaws of economic ruin!
SteamWorld Heist II (Releasing August 8th)
Join Captain Leeway and his ragtag crew as they uncover the enigmatic menace threatening the Great Sea. Equip and upgrade your crew for turn-based gunfights packed with ricochet action and engage in real-time naval combat. Get ready to aim, plot, and plunder in this uproarious Steambot adventure!
Echoes of the Plum Grove
A new life awaits in Honeywood! Build a thriving community that will last generations in this cozy farm simulator. Farm, socialize, make friends, cook, craft, forage and uncover the secrets of the island! If someone doesn’t want to be friends? There are always other means.
Also previously covered recently be sure to check out Session: Skate Sim which got bumped up to Verified.
That's it for this Steam Deck Verified game round up! Be sure to follow the Steam Deck tag, as I do at times cover individual games seeing a Steam Deck Verified rating too with their updates and releases.

QuoteWhat have you been playing recently?2024 is still turning out to be a very emulation-heavy year for me (something that I fully expect to continue into 2025, at this point), and most recently I've been playing battles against the AIs in Saturn Bomberman via RetroDECK.

Not on Deck, but:
- one of my comfort picks - War Thunder,
- various local multiplayer games with apartment mates or guests
- tried Drag for the first time just before it was re-released as Exocross 😄
- finished Wandersong finally

Mostly on the steam deck:
- Stardew Valley - I'll finish this time I swear!
- Nightingale - now that offline mode exists
- Symphony of War - chipping away one campaign map after another but still too much to go.
- Infection Free Zone- from the 112/911 operator team. Zombies in a real life town that you know off.
- Book of Travels - Wonderful to dip in now and then
- Forge (adventure mode) - finally figured how to run this java mtg game on the deck. Warmly reminds me of old Microprose MTG Shandalar: Duels of the Planeswalkers
- Forza Horizon 4 - bit the bullet and got it during the steam sale. Nice racing but mandatory intro sucks.
EDIT: added Stardew Valley and BoT comments.

Quoting: CatKillerI've been playing Sail Forth on the Deck. It's pretty sweet. I was enjoying it enough that I also got the DLC, although I've not done any of the DLC content yet.
This looks wonderful! Thanks for the suggestion.
Quoting: JarmerZoria Age of Shattering.This link should come with a warning. It ate up over 100MB of cellphone data when I clicked it -- and that was with video playback blocked!
That being said, it sure does look like an interesting game.
See more from me
