Another seriously impressive milestone has been hit. The Steam Deck now has 18,000 games that Valve have rated to be either Playable or Verified.
For a little background here on how long it's taken for the Steam Deck to hit these milestones across 2024 we had 13,000 in January, 14,000 in March, 15,000 in May, 16,000 in August and 17,000 in November. With this being the first milestone hit during 2025. In case you missed it Valve also announced recently that during 2024, 330 million hours were played on Steam Deck, which was a big increase from 2023.

For instance there's a game which I think would be perfect for the Deck, title is "Skald". It's a retro party based rpg. It's verified for the deck, but the controller support is so terrible you can't even play it. the dpad buttons pull up the text based console for instance. Sometimes right trigger confirms and action, sometimes a button confirms an action. Add on top of that the developer has responded that they don't care and won't update it. It should have status "playable" but not verified.
Then there are all the various aaa games that keep getting verified status but crash constantly and get like 20fps. That should NOT be listed even as playable, let alone verified.
I really hope this year they spend some time on this labeling system.
