So, you could use the list directly off Steamdb ( https://steamdb.info/search/?a=app_keynames&type=-1&keyname=530&operator=1&keyvalue= ) but someone made a list that they update regularly which has more info and is far more organised. https://steamdeckverified.avery.cafe/

...lololololol good for steam for creating a new platform that runs 2 games that i recognize in the free world to be games, from this list.

You're getting ahead of yourself here.

They're manually checking games to to mark them as "Steam Deck Verified" or not. Right now, just over 400 games are marked as verified. If a game is not yet verified, that doesn't mean it won't work. Just that Valve hasn't gotten to it yet to give it the official seal of approval.

If a game runs on Linux either natively or via Proton and has controller support, it's basically ready to go for Steam Deck. Based on ProtonDB ratings, roughly about 80%-85% of the entire Steam library works fine.

As for temperature, third party testing shows the back of the Deck does get a little warm at 43 degrees Celsius, while the part you actually hold stays relatively cool at about 25 degrees Celsius. Perfectly reasonable and comfortable.

my gpu could take 4 steam decks stacked on top of each other like power rangers in a fight and even i cant run half the newest games that are coming out. and neither will power ranger steam deck sir.

Anyone who tries to compare a 15 watt handheld PC to their desktop gaming PC is being extremely disingenuous. No, the Deck can't compare to 300 watt desktop GPU in terms of sheer performance. It doesn't need to though, and it runs games just fine. Example:

Unless you think all the gameplay footage of this thing running demanding, AAA games is faked?

i seriously hope people look really closely at these lists before buying the steam deck. my gpu could take 4 steam decks stacked on top of each other like power rangers in a fight and even i cant run half the newest games that are coming out. and neither will power ranger steam deck sir

Your GPU as well costs about 4 times what a Steam Deck does
(Talking about the most expensive model though)

I'm lucky to get mine at the msrp, $50 less than the Deck. But don't ask me about the MB, RAM, CPU, PS and beefy cooler I had to get.

ProtonDB is a really good resource for discovering titles that work well for Linux and/or the Steam Deck.

i might sound disingenuous because i dont know everything about the steam deck, im asking my steam hater friend about it

and he says to say this.

you know when steam "verifies" shovelware and Early access games to meet their strict requirements to be placed on their store? they check to make sure it turns on, and starts up? lol. thats what they mean by "its basically ready to go for steam deck"

the catch with cyberpunk 2077 is it starts on steam deck. you can hang around inside in a low memmory low resource intensive situation. but when you go outside it rubberbands bad because it takes more resources. its basic physics. either your going to be playing on a resolution you dont want to play at. you will be playing with rubberbanding you dont want to play with. or. youll be playing with a video card that requires more cooling power than you can fit in your hand

theyre being disingenuous. youre either going to be playing at a resolution you dont want to be playing on. or you will be overheating. im gonna go with resolutions you dont want to be playing on considering "being able to read the text" is 1 of 4 requirements to being placed on the "ready to go with steam deck list"

your video is real. all the other ones showing how bad it rubberbands during resource intensive situations are fake

Just so we’re clear, your friend is wrong, “verified” does not mean the game turns on. There’s some very specific requirements a game has to meet and Valve is being extremely picky. For example, the requirements for the activation of the keyboard screen is getting a lot of games shoved down to the playable category. Font size is another sticking point. Steamdb has the basic info on this process.

Secondly, the “rubberbanding” issue Linus had in Forza has a possible explanation, as he stated in a recent vid, they believe it’s not the CPU or GPU but rather connectivity issues. It explains why it only affects certain games and not others.

I’ll find the link later but it’s a pretty recent vid from the last few days.

Edit, I believe they said that the Forza devs were looking into it. Makes sense since Microsoft and Valve are all super cozy lately.

Oh, and I nearly forgot, Revolution supposedly has BASS 2 running fine but they can’t get verified status until they sort out a few last issues. So it’s not that easy to pass the test.

New store page to find games that are Great on Deck:

https://store.steampowered.com/greatondeck

wtf are these games i never heard of them except maybe 5 the rest look like shovelware you should be playing on an oversized cell phone.

You must have been living under a rock if you can only recognize 5 of them.

i guess im half wrong. it will run AAA games, but there is a steady stream of hot air shooting out the top vents akin to holding the tasmanian devil in your hands. its better than needing oven mitts i suppose.

its going to be running at 100% effort 100% of the time.

I'm not sure what your expectations are for the Deck. It's not like they're shoving an RTX 3090 and Ryzen 9 5950 in there with custom water loops and two fat radiators to run Elden Ring on Ultra settings to a 8k screen. It's a handheld. Of course there are tradeoffs.

this might shock you. but go out into the real world, and ask real people. have they ever heard of terraria, dont starve together, stardew valley, 5 nights in freddy, the answer will be no.

theyve heard of nba 2k, john madden football. grand theft auto. battlefield. red dead 2.


what would really suprise you is most people wont even know what steam is. the average gamer has never played CIVILIZATION! can you imagine. go out to the bar with your friends. and a few ladies if theyve ever heard of civilization, or steam.




with that said. there is about 5 consumer grade games verified to work "well" with steam deck. if youre one of those people who can play terraria until your crosseyed i recommend steam deck. if not, get an MSI gaming laptop for the same price. you can tweak the resolutions alone to run ANY AAA game on the market. not at a level you'd like to be playing on it. but you will be happier with an MSI laptop overall. gaming included.

Shovelware? God of War is now shovelware? Sekiro? Middle Earth? Metal Gear? Deathloop? Final Fantasy? Yakuza? Ark Survival Evolved? Alien: Isolation? Sonic? Forza?

ELDEN RING?

All Verified.


You can't be serious, right?

This isn't being marketed to your real world real people. Was there an ad during the Super Bowl? NBA All-Star Game? Olympics? No. There's a banner on Steam's storefront and tech enthusiasts have been talking about it. The gamers are the target demographic and if you asked them about those titles they'd recognize a lot more than the 5 you do.
