Steam Deck's game compatibility reviews have started to roll out Deck Stranding confirmed News by Graham Smith Contributor Published on Jan. 20, 2022 27 comments Valve are gearing up for the first batch of Steam Decks to be shipped to players next month. Part of the preparation is rolling out their compatibility review program, which will let you know which games on Steam work best with Valve's handheld PC. The verification status of the first set of games can now be found via SteamDB, though not yet the Steam interface itself. As spotted by the SteamDeck community on Reddit, 67 games have so far received a rating. 39 games have received "Verified" status, including Death Stranding, Cuphead, Hollow Knight, Dark Souls 3 and Into The Breach. 23 more have been marked "Playable", including Slay The Spire, while five have been marked "Unsupported." Watch on YouTube Valve spoke to us last year about how the compatibility program works. While much has been made of the Steam Deck's ability to run almost anything, some games will obviously work better than others. The compatibility review program therefore takes into account four key attributes: input support, native display resolution support (with readable text), general hardware compatibility and compatibility with Proton, including middleware like anti-cheat. Games that meet all these criteria are marked "Verified", as per the list above, while others will be marked "Playable" if they run but not perfectly, and a hopefully small number will be marked "Unsupported." Thus far the unsupported list includes VR games Budget Cuts, Job Simulator and theBlu, and recent PS Vita port Persona 4 Golden. Each game will have details as to why it's been marked "Playable", letting you decide how important the issues are to you. Here's the complete list of games rated so far: Verified Aliens: Fireteam Elite Ape Out Castle Crashers Celeste Circuit Superstar Cuphead Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin Dark Souls III Death Stranding Death's Door Dishonored Final Fantasy Guacamelee! 2 Gunfire Reborn Hollow Knight Hot Wheels Unleashed Into the Breach Mad Max Manifold Garden Mark of the Ninja: Remastered NieR:Automata Noita Portal 2 Psychonauts 2 RAD Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth Remnant: From the Ashes Risk of Rain Rogue Legacy Sable Scarlet Nexus Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Super Mega Baseball 3 Tetris Effect: Connected The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth The Messenger Total War: Warhammer II Tunche Webbed Playable Among Trees Black Skylands Bravely Default II Cats in Time Cookie Clicker Crypt of the NecroDancer Dyson Sphere Program Factorio Farming Simulator 19 Inscryption Plants vs. Zombies: Game of the Year RimWorld Rise of the Tomb Raider Season of Mystery : The Cherry Blossom Murders Slay the Spire Stormworks: Build and Rescue Subnautica Swords of Legends Online The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Tomb Raider Tribes of Midgard 2 Valheim War Thunder Unsupported Arizona Sunshine Budget Cuts Job Simulator Persona 4 Golden theBlu More News Jack King-Spooner's next handcrafted game has a teaser demo out Judero brings chat and action in the Scottish Borders Alice O'Connor 17 hours ago 1 If you were hoping for any Overwatch 2 balance changes then you'll have to wait until season two The next season begins in December CJ Wheeler 18 hours ago 3 The Dead Space remake will chuck random Necromorphs at you as you wander the Ishimura In space, no one can hear you proper bricking it CJ Wheeler 18 hours ago 8 Valve register mysterious new Neon Prime trademark in the US It doesn’t seem to be for a particularly colourful Steam Deck CJ Wheeler 20 hours ago 11 Latest Articles What are we all playing this weekend?
