It’s been almost a year since the first rumors of a new Valve console appeared, nine months since the company introduced Steam Deck to the company and barely a month after the device was launched. And the news around it hasn’t stopped appearing, although there’s one that will be of particular interest to those sorry for the redundancy who are interested in getting the device: to know as the catalog grows available games.

In this regard, it should be noted that the operating system that runs Steam Deck is Linux, which does not mean that all Linux-compatible games that are on Steam, including this number of native and compatible via Proton (Steam plugin that allow you to run games for Windows on Linux) are available to the owners of the new Valve console.

The company rather accepted relatively strict screening strategy -no without mistakes, but that’s a different story- for what comes to his creation, in which at least a priori the quality of the experience surpasses everything else. So there are many games “enabled” for Steam Deck that have native support for Linux, but there are also many games that come from Windows via Proton, because make no mistake, great versions are still exclusive to Windows.

So the Steam Deck catalog is growing slowly but steadily, and if the console went on sale with just 40 “verified” titles and another 40 “playable”, in just five days, it exceeded a thousand, which is said to be soon. Since then, dripping has been constant and this week has been marked by another new milestone, p More than 2,000 compatible games for Steam DeckPoč and counting.

It should also be noted that when talking about Steam Deck-compatible games and distinguishing between verified and playable, one does not have the same value as the other, although in many cases the face value is an almost mandatory procedure to obtain the required seal. warranties. Proven games are “fully functional on Steam Deck” games and adapted to the screen and device controls, while playable games can cause some problems.

All in all, when we break down Steam Deck-compatible games, the proven ones still lead, even if the advantage is small. At the time of publication, Steam Deck has 1,056 verified games and 986 playable games, exceeding a total of 2,000, according to SteamDB.

Games that have been “verified” for Steam Deck in recent days include titles such as Death Stranding Director’s Cut, Growing hell, The Chronicles of the Valkyrie 4, Aragami 2, DOOM 2016 and long etc., yes, all types, conditions and data.
