  Steam Deck will offer you the full steam library of games

  *some exclusions apply.

  Of my nearly 300 games in my library, 36 are fully steam deck certified. While another ~70 have some layer of compatibility. Leaving almost 1/3rd of my library not usable on the Steam Deck.

    1/3 sounds high. Just because it isn’t verified doesn’t mean it won’t work, and most of the non-anti-cheat-related compatibility problems are solved by installing Proton GE.

      Yeah, I have had a really good experience with Unknown and even Unsupported. Proton just works really well.

    I usually check protondb for more detailed data on games compatibility www.protondb.com

    That’s very surprising. Is your library chiefly old DOS games or something?

      No, all of my MS-DOS games are through GOG.

    “Deck verified” is an absolutely useless metric and very often wrong. I pay no attention to them and neither should you.

    Some games that say not supported actually work fine. I was disappointed to not be able to play some older games like Jedi Academy, but I installed it, set a community made controller mapping, and it works with zero issues.

    Sure there are some games that don’t work, but a lot more do than just the ones that are steam deck certified / playable.
