Valve is testing every game on Steam to show Steam Deck compatibility - briefly

The manual tweaking that's required of the games holding the "Playable" tag could mean doing things like manually selecting a community controller config and requiring input using the on-screen keyboard or the touch screen for some elements.
When a game is performing acceptably on the Steam Deck (it seems 30FPS is the minimum target to hit), has no issues with the resolution of the device nor its input methods, displays no compatibility warnings, and supports running seamlessly through Proton if a native Linux version is not available, it enters the coveted Verified category.
Valve is working on displaying these compatibility settings on Steam libraries of players before the Steam Deck launches, and it plans to continue this manual review program beyond the launch as well. As developers update their games and the Steam Deck software improves, Valve will also re-review titles to see if playability has improved.
The Steam Deck launches this December with three models costing $399, $529, and $649. While the AMD-powered internals remain the same, the storage amount and speed included in the package changes in each version. Reservations are available here. |
