With over 100,000 games on Steam - verifying all of that takes a long time but the Steam Deck now has over 25,000 that are Steam Deck Playable or Verified.
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.
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.
This is great news!

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.
