Come and see what Valve have been rating Steam Deck Verified recently, and perhaps you might just find your next game to play through. All games will work on Desktop Linux too thanks to Valve's Proton.
There's currently 6,133 games that Valve have rated as Verified. And while the system is certainly not perfect, it's a good measure of what should hopefully be click and play. Be sure to check out my round-up of Verified games from early April.

oh, and like with so many other big game launches these days, oblivion might SAY it's verified but it's a dirty lie. I don't know why they keep doing this but .... it's pretty ugly on the Deck. Far better off to play the original w/ mods on Deck.
