Looking to pick up some more games for Steam Deck or Desktop Linux? Well, here's a whole bunch more that should work great. All the games listed here are steam deck verified Steam Deck Verified, which going by Valve's testing means they should just be click-and-play without any fussing around.

In case you missed it we hit 16,000 games Verified + Playable back in August. Right now the count is at 16,231, with 5,396 of those fully Verified. Be sure to also check out what was most popular on Steam Deck through August 2024.

With it no particular order, and some may have been mentioned here on GamingOnLinux directly before so this may just be a nice reminder, here's a round-up of games that are Verified and look interesting.

I'll give The Elder Scrolls Online an honourable mention, since it is now Steam Deck Playable and should be Steam Deck Verified in a future update.

Just emulated stuff through RetroDECK - there's still nothing new that's caught my eye, yet!

A couple of weeks ago I decided to check whether my PlayStation Vita still works, and it does, so I've put some hours into Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.

Good thing about the Vita is it fits in my pocket, as much as I love the Steam Deck, it's WAY~ too massive for that. Insert your favourite bigger is better joke here.

We've decided that the little one's allowed to have a Microsoft account to be able to play Minecraft, so my Deck play recently has been doing multiplayer Minecraft on our home server with him on my desktop. It took some getting used to, but multiplayer Minecraft is always fun.
