With Steam Deck currently still on track to meet its revised February 2022 release date, there’s a lot of work going on behind-the-scenes in preparation for launch, including Valve’s extensive drive to rate every game on Steam for compatibility with its highly anticipated portable gaming PC – and the first batch of Steam titles to have received ratings, whether that be a fully compatible Verified or otherwise, have now appeared for perusal online.
Valve first discussed its Steam Deck Verified initiative back in October, announcing it had started reviewing the entire Steam catalogue to create a new compatibility ratings system – labelling games as either Verified, Playable, Unsupported, and Unknown – that would provide Steam Deck users with a simple means of checking how games will function on their system.
