These are the current Steam Deck Verified games

The Steam Deck is a fun piece of kit, though the smiles might drop if a certain game turns out to be incompatible with it. Fortunately, Valve have a compatibility review programme in place, which aims to test every game on Steam and categorise them by how affable they are to the handheld PC’s SteamOS software and control setup – as well as how well they perform. And here, you’ll find a full list of every Verified game, so you can know before you buy what will work.

For games you already own, finding out the review result is even easier than Ctrl+F-ing through this list, as Valve have a compatibility checking tool that can list all the games in your Steam library by category.

All that said, remember that a game doesn’t need to go through Valve’s review process to be fully functional on the Steam Deck; some of the best-performing games I’ve played on it are still untested at the time of writing. But more games are being tested and categorised every day, so to help take the guesswork out of compatibility, we’ll be keeping this list updated as new games complete their reviews.

Which games are compatible with the Steam Deck?

Strictly speaking, no-one knows precisely how many games are compatible with the Steam Deck, as Valve’s review process will take months (if not years) to cover the tens of thousands of games on the platform. And because more PC games are constantly releasing, the process will need to run indefinitely. The good news, though, is that most of the games tested so far are at least somewhat functional, with the biggest majority being fully compatible.

Any games that complete the review process are put into one of three categories: Verified, Playable, and Unsupported. Verified games are the gold standard, working immediately with the Deck’s hardware and software while being able to run at 30fps or above. Playable games will have most of their key functionality working, though you may need to deal with minor issues like small text or a control scheme that needs manual customisation. Unsupported games don’t currently work as intended on the Steam Deck, whether it’s though unacceptably low performance, software incompatibility or unworkable controls.

Verified Steam Deck Games

If a game has Verified status, it will run on the Steam Deck without a hitch. These games work well with the Deck's controls, no software compatibility problems to speak of, and can run well enough on the Deck's APU to manage at least 30fps. Sometimes on Low settings, admittedly, but nobody's perfect.

On the Steam Deck itself, Verified games are also sorted into a 'Great on Deck' section of the Steam Library UI. Handy, if you've got a massive collection and want quick access to the best performers.
