There's currently somewhere around 92,000 games on Steam and so it's going to take a long time for Valve to check them all on Steam Deck but here's some recent picks.
There’s a bunch that doesn’t work for my Steam Deck.
It does open. It does play. But controllers dont map correctly or there’s weird layering UI issues, where the game is unresponsive because its waiting for a keyboard event somewhere else, and the player can’t actually get there using a controller because the devs assumed people would only use mouse+keyboard. Not even switching controller setups make it work.
That’s my bad; I automatically read “Steam Deck” in the parent comment as “Linux” which is obviously a much different story. I’ve definitely had my share of issues getting certain games to work properly on my Steam Deck that otherwise run flawlessly on my desktop.
Pretty much. Out of the ~380 games in my library, there are only a handful that outright don’t work (excluding those which use anticheat).
