Another milestone for Valve here, as the Steam Deck has now managed to hit the 14,000 mark for games that are rated either Playable or Verified.

Of course there are many non-verified games that run fine as well.

For comparison, the Switch has somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 games.

Source: Wikipedia lists about 5000, Nintendo says “over 5000”, but this website claims 10,880. Part of why the Moby Games website lists more is because it lists multiple versions of a game as separate games (Xenoblade DE is listed 4 times for example).

    Easy anticheat works on the Deck (but not as an all encompassing kernel level anticheat, obviously) but each developer has to tick a checkbox for it to ignore proton. That’s why Apex Legends works but Fortnite does not, as Epic simply refuses to allow it to out of spite against Valve.

    Iirc BattlEye is the same. Maybe punkbuster, can’t remember.

      Punkbuster is cross-platform, altough I’d argue it’s not relevant anymore. But there’s still many ac that don’t work, e.g. EA’s ac or Escape from Tarkov.
