Hello I was wondering what games would you recommend not playing on the steam deck. Because from what I have seen the steam deck can play nearly any game that you throw at it.

• games that can't keep a stable 40 fps in native 1280x800 or 1280x720 with medium settings. So a lot of AAA-games (and a few badly optimized AA-games) of the last few years.
• games with too small text / HUD elements in the user interface
• story-heavy games with too small text in the subtitles

STEAM Deck looks so addicting but would probably never get any work done if I brought one with me to work. I got in trouble for watching youtube videos at work by some bad boss. So having a steam deck I probably would get in trouble for palying too much halo.

Update of previous compatibility results broken down by SteamDB rating (2024-09-08):

A total of 16143 out of 20405 tested Steam games are now rated "playable+".

38.8 % of the 1721 "90+ games" and 28.1 % of the 5627 "85+ games" are now "verified".
78.6 % of the 1721 "90+ games" and 63.6% of the 5627 "85+ games" are now "playable+".

79.1% of the tested games are playable, with tweaks a lot more.

The higher the SteamDB rating, the higher this percentage becomes: at 80+ rating it's 85.3 %, at 85+ rating 86.7 % and at 90+ rating even 88.0 % playable without any tweaks:

55.06 % (3019 games) of my own Steam library are now categorized as "verified" or "playable" (excluding my VR games).
The majority of the untested 35.6 % is probably playable, too.

Only 9.34 % of my library is classified as "unsupported" so far (VR games excluded).

Here are the current compatibility results for all PC games with MetaScore 85 and better by year.

So far only the last five years, maybe I'll add more years later.

This thread needs more news posts and stuff lets go folks!.

SteamOS Will Soon Be Available on Non-Steam Deck Handhelds

Valve will begin allowing third-party handhelds to license SteamOS starting with Lenovo's new Legion Go S.

At CES 2025, Lenovo announced that it will ship a version of its upcoming Legion Go S handheld called the "Powered by SteamOS" that will run, you guessed it, SteamOS. This is the same OS that powers Valve's Steam Deck, which is pretty good if you're primarily someone who owns all their PC games on Steam.

Valve Dismisses Steam Deck 2 Speculation

As noted by GamesRadar+, the miscommunication began when VideoCardz.com put up a slide that mentioned that Ryzen's Z2 processors are capable of creating a boom in the handheld console market, even naming the likes of the ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go, and the Steam Deck. This was compounded by AMD saying that the next iterations of these devices would indeed be powered by Z2 processors.

Skipping The Z2 APU Could Be An Amazing Decision For The Steam Deck 2

The Steam Deck has reinvigorated my passion for gaming, and I can't wait to see how Valve is going to iterate on their amazing portable device. However, it may take a little longer for us to find out what a Steam Deck 2 will be like since Valve has specifically stated that they will not be using the newly announced Z2 chips for the Deck. I have seen mixed reactions to this, with a lot of people wanting a more powerful Deck and hoping Z2 would make its way over, but this decision from Valve could actually make the Steam Deck 2 significantly better while sticking to Valve's generational leap commitment.

NVIDIA To Release Native GeForce NOW App For Steam Deck

It can be hard to run some of the newest games on the Steam Deck without major compromises, which can be a bummer. Luckily, there are a few ways around this, and one of those is cloud streaming. There are two options that come to my mind for it, but the one I use the most is GeForce NOW. Paying a subscription fee to stream from an ultra-powerful computer with a powerhouse GPU, as well as tons of great games that are supported, is just fantastic. And it's going to get a lot better on the Steam Deck soon!..

So i think we need more news like this ill help when i can too. So lets boost this thread!!...
