On February 25, Valve began sending out the first round of reservation confirmations to users who had previously booked the company’s portable Steam Deck game machine, and slowly the device began to find its way into player booths. However, the work on the part of Valve is far from over, as the company has a lot of work ahead of that to certify games for the device from over 60,000 game libraries on Steam.
Recently, we reported on the certification process, Valve reviewed 622 games and found that 562 of them were fully playable on Steam Deck. cross one blog posts The company announced that it now has time to test another solid selection of games, and over 1,000 games can now be played from start to finish on the mobile gaming device.
According to the database ProtonDB 564 games are marked as “Verified”, which means that they are completely hassle-free when played on Steam Deck. The remaining 499 games are marked as ‘playable’, which could mean that slight deviations can be seen when playing – this could indicate, for example, that the game control tip is pointing to a command on the keyboard rather than Device manual control start button.
In the blog post, Valve also wrote that it’s picky about certifying games as “playable,” because the slightest deviation that makes any aspect of the title inaccessible means it’s marked as “incompatible.” On top of that, the company continues to work on fine-tuning the Proton compatibility layer to make more games work, while game developers will have the resources to get their titles approved in the future.
