The handheld market has always been dominated by Nintendo. It essentially invented it with the original GameBoy, and each subsequent device has only gone on to be more popular and financially successful, leading all the way to the hybrid Nintendo Switch console. Others have attempted to break into that lucrative market, PlayStation most notably with its PSP and PS Vita handhelds, but every other company has backed out for failing to hit that sweet spot of price, power, and compelling software. Enter the Steam Deck.
Marketed as a portal PC, the Steam Deck has all the potential to be a strong competitor to Nintendo’s Switch. The console is an almost completely open platform and is much more powerful, though it does have a much bigger price tag attached. However, if it really can run all your Steam games, that extra upfront cost could be worth it to take your library of hundreds of games wherever you go. That’s assuming all your games will work on the Steam Deck. So far, not every game on Steam has been verified to work on the handheld, so we’ve compiled a full list of what you know you can play right now on your Steam Deck.
We will break down the list of games into three sections: verified games, playable games, and unsupported games. Verified games are exactly what they sound like: Games Valve has officially started to work on Steam Deck with no issues. Playable games are ones players have tried out, and while they work, they might have some bugs or small issues associated with them. Finally, unsupported games flat out don’t work on the Steam Deck.
