The Steam Deck, Valve’s portable gaming device, continues to impress gamers worldwide with its expanding library of playable titles.
Steam Deck Hits Major Milestone
The Steam Deck has reached a significant milestone by offering over 14,000 playable games on the PC gaming handheld.

Verification Process and Game Library Growth
Obtaining verification for the Steam Deck is no easy task, given Valve’s rigorous compatibility checks. However, the handheld has defied the odds and become home to a vast array of games, with more titles becoming verified or playable each day.
According to reports from GamingOnLinux and SteamDB, there are now over 14,000 compatible games on the Steam Deck, with 4,607 titles fully verified and 9,416 receiving playable commendations. Recent additions like Last Epoch and Star Wars Battlefront Classics Collection have further enriched the gaming experience on the device.
Expanding Support and Future Prospects
While the current count of playable games stands at 14,000, the actual number is likely higher, considering popular titles like Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot run smoothly on the Steam Deck despite lacking official support. SteamDB lists around 3,924 unsupported games for the device, hinting at the potential for more titles to achieve verified or playable status in the future.
With the Steam Deck’s game library growing daily, it won’t be long before even more unsupported games find their way onto the platform, offering gamers a diverse selection of titles to enjoy on the go.
