Steam Deck Verified Ratings Explained: Verified, Playable, Unsupported, and Unknown

Steam Deck Verified is how Valve rates games for Steam Deck. Every rating is one of four labels: Verified, Playable, Unsupported, or Unknown.

What each Steam Deck Verified rating means

Each label answers one question: will the game work on Steam Deck?

• ✅Verified: The game works great on Steam Deck, right out of the box.
• 🛠️Playable: The game may need some manual tweaking before you play. For example, you might pick a community controller config yourself or use the touchscreen to move around a launcher.
• 🚫Unsupported: The game isn’t working on Steam Deck right now.
• ❓Unknown: Valve hasn’t checked the game yet.

How to pick a game by its rating

Verified games are the easiest picks, because they need no setup work. Playable games are fine if you don’t mind a little tweaking.

Unsupported games aren’t working yet, so skip them for now. Unknown doesn’t mean broken. It means Valve hasn’t looked at the game yet.

Where to see the rating on Steam Deck

You’ll find the ratings in your Library, in the Steam Store, and in the Library filter.

• 📚Library: Open your Library on Steam Deck, and each game shows its rating automatically.
• 🛒Store: Ratings show while you shop on Steam Deck. The first tab in the Steam Store lists only games that are great on Steam Deck.
• 🔎Filter: You can filter any Library view by rating.

What stands behind the Verified badge

Valve lists four areas behind the Verified badge: Input, Display, Seamlessness, and System Support.

Check a game’s rating before you buy it, and treat Unknown as a question mark, not a warning.
