It should be noted that a lot of ‘unknown’ and even ‘unsupported’ games work just fine, so it’s hard to say what the actual number of ‘playable’+ games is.
As an example - Resident Evil 5 is currently marked as ‘unsupported’, but works flawlessly out of the box. So far I’ve played for about 15 hours and the experience has been perfect.
Yeah, the number of “unsupported” games that I played and finished on my steam deck is higher that one would expect.

I’ll just add that this has been my experience, as well.
There may be some bias toward old games in my “unsupported” library, because I stopped buying “unsupported” games, when I bought a SteamDeck.
But many of my “unsupported” games just work anyway.
If something’s marked unsupported I just double check ProtonDB before I buy it
I should really learn to do the same. I might pick up some games I’ve passed over.
If you use decky loader then you can get the protondb badge plugin. Then you can see pretty fast what state it is in

I have been wondering if it is because of updates from the devs, how often do valve recheck verifierade games?
Hell yeah.
When in doubt, ProtonDB also has a “Steam Deck” tab for reports.
Usually controller support is enough, though.
This is great news!
I do feel like for some of these games being labeled as playable, by a lot of people’s standards I don’t think they would say they’re enjoyable to play in the state they are presented.
For example Expedition 33 is labeled as Steam Deck verified, but the quality is very poor, that I’m not sure I would be able to stand playing for long. Instead I’ve had to set up to stream from my PC.
Still great news though, and I hope the steam deck is considered more in the future when games are being made.
Same with Avowed. It’s such a blurry mess, I don’t see how anyone can play it on the deck. It does make me question every game now, even when it says verified.
Still, there are tons of games that look and play amazing on it.
Guess we need a community Steam Deck verified tag
The problem then would be different. What is acceptable from user A is probably different than user B. A consensus would be difficult to find.
Well, there’s an app called DeckSettings that signs badges based on community reports, but they don’t always have reports for games in interested in. Still, it’s good to have, and it’ll grow
Edit: actually the badges are from ProtonDB, which aren’t as useful. E.g. Avowed has a gold badge, but if you read the comments for steam deck, they’re basically all negative.
add in every console game under the PS2 and that number goes up a bit
Whatcha mean?
Console emulation.
Microslop is so fucked,ans that makes me so happy.
