Steam Deck hits 17,000 games playable and verified

Valve's Steam Deck has reached a significant milestone, with 17,000 games now rated as playable or verified on the platform. This includes 5,678 games marked as Verified and 11,323 as Playable, while 4,432 games remain Unsupported. The growth in playable titles has been steady, with previous milestones of 13,000 in January, 14,000 in March, 15,000 in May, and 16,000 in August. Recent additions to the Verified list include popular titles such as "Cyber Knights: Flashpoint," "Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered," and "Planet Coaster 2." Improvements in compatibility have also been noted, particularly with the removal of the 2K Launcher for "Marvel’s Midnight Suns," and updates to Proton, which enhance game performance on the Steam Deck. While the number of games tested by Valve is substantial, it is acknowledged that many more games are available on platforms like GOG and Epic Games, albeit requiring additional setup. The ongoing development of Proton is expected to increase the number of games that can run on Linux systems, although the percentage of games officially supported on Steam Deck may decrease as the overall library expands.
