V's portable PC game handheld Steam Deck has attracted a large wave of players after the announcement, and the machine has begun to ship to the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and other countries and regions! We know that although Steam Deck is developed by V Society, it does not mean that it can run all Steam games. In order to allow players to confirm the compatibility of a specific game with the machine in advance, V Society has launched a related game detection website.
The specific URL Doctor will not write, everyone go to the Internet search to know. Once we're logged into our Steam account, we can check the compatibility of games in our library with Steam Deck, which are currently divided into four categories: Verified, Playable, Unsupported, and Unknown. The meaning is very clear, the "playable" level is lower than the "verified", the user needs to make some manual adjustments to play, and the fluency is not perfectly guaranteed. So, we're mainly going to see if the game we want to play on Steam Deck is "verified."
The number and variety of Steam games that each player has varies, so the practicality and value of Steam Deck are not the same for everyone. However, the doctor would like to tell everyone: as far as the current situation is concerned, Steam Deck's performance in terms of game compatibility is not optimistic, because according to the latest report of the well-known foreign media Kotaku, his editor "Luke Plunkett" personally experienced the above game compatibility testing website, and the results are not as good as everyone thinks, and the "verified" products are less than 10%!
As a veteran game editor, "Luke Plunkett" currently has 810 games in its collection, in addition to the ones he bought and experienced, of course, many companies sent to test. In addition, most of the games he owns are more well-known AAA products and independent works that ordinary players are also very concerned about, so the number of 810 is enough to explain a lot of problems and have a certain representativeness, let's take a look at the results.
Of the 810 games, only 59 are in "verified" status, such as NBA2K22, Dragon 7, and so on. Steam Deck's smooth running products account for only about 7% of all games; there are 66 "playable" products, such as the "Soccer Manager" series, etc., and the system will prompt "You really need a keyboard and mouse to play".
Interestingly, there aren't as many games as we thought they were, with only 23 Steam games completely unworkable. That's good news! As many as 600 products are in an "unknown" state, in other words, V has not yet tested the compatibility of these games, such as: Halo: Infinity and so on. The situation is unclear means that anything can happen, and the doctor is pessimistic about this part of the product, after all, the product that can run perfectly, the V Society has long deliberately picked out the publicity.
So for the Steam Deck handheld, the doctor personally suggests: it is best to have a clear play goal, and the games you often play or plan to play on the Steam Deck are best in the "verified" state, then buy the machine. For example, if you take the Steam Deck to play the Old Man Ring, then there is no problem, and its current status is verified. Some media tests have shown that in offline mode, the overall frame count of Eldon's Law Ring in steam Deck can be maintained at about 45FPS, sometimes dropping below 30FPS, which is not a big problem.
