Check yourself before you Deck yourself
Time for anotherSteam Deckcompatibilityupdatefrom your Steam Deckcompatibilitycorrespondent. This time, Valve have launched a new tool that lets you check your entire Steam library for Deck readiness at once, sorting them into categories based on the results their ongoing compatibility testing programme.
SteamDB have been keeping unofficial trackof which games have earned Verified (fully functioning), Playable (sufficiently functioning), or Unsupported (not functioning) status from this review process; thecurrent combined countof Verified and Playable games has now ticked over 760. But finding the status of your own games meant combing through those lists manually, so this tool should provide a much more convenient alternative. To use it, just load up Valve’s newMy Gamespage and punch in your Steam login details.

To be clear, it only lists games that have been through the review programme, and the vast majority of Steam games have not. That doesn’t mean these untested games will fail to run on the Steam Deck – many are bound to be Verified and Playable games in waiting – just that Valve haven’t got round to reviewing them yet.
