Steam Deck Compatibility Program Announced – Valve Will Review the Entire Steam Catalog-October 2024

Oct 28, 2024 7:30 PM

　　Valve unveiled a Steam Deck Compatibility Program that will help users figure out whether a game they own or want to purchase is going to run well on the handheld gaming PC device.

See at a glance how games will play on Steam Deck.

With Steam Deck, we're bringing your Steam Library to a new form factor—a portable gaming PC. While many games run great on Deck out of the box, this shift means there are some games that, while they may be great on a desktop PC, aren't a great experience on Steam Deck.

　　We want it to be easy for you to find great gaming experiences on Steam Deck, so we’ve designed a system to do just that.

Valve is reviewing the entire Steam catalog on Deck.

After each game is reviewed, it is categorized for its level of compatibility of Steam Deck. You’ll see these categories on Steam, when you’re browsing your library or shopping for games on Deck.

Four categories of Deck compatibility

VERIFIED

The game works great right out of the box.

PLAYABLE

The game may require some manual tweaking by the user to play, e.g. requiring user to manually select a community controller config, needing to use the touchscreen to navigate a launcher, etc.

UNSUPPORTED

The game is currently not functional.

UNKNOWN

We haven't checked this game for compatibility yet.

Games that check these four boxes are Deck Verified.

Input

The title should have full controller support, use appropriate controller input icons, and automatically bring up the on-screen keyboard when needed.
