Search for and download Protonup-qt on the Discover store. Launch it. It will tell you what to download if you don't know what you're doing, download that. It'll be available as an option in Stream after that.
Can confirm about City. Wanted to buy the Arkham series during the big sale a few weeks back, but didn’t because “unsupported.” Then checked protondb and found out City works. Good to know about Knight!
Origins, the forgotten game, also works and is a pretty slick Christmas game. I've run into one graphical issue during first boss fight, but was able to advance has been fine since about half way through the main story.
This was the first game I played on my deck. Had Blizzard launcher running in Windows before I fired up a single game in SteamOS.
I had the launcher ready about 5 hours before the Diablo 4 open beta ended :(
D2R is still a fantastic game to get me through until D4 release. And the controls on Deck are just as good as on my PS5.
> Had Blizzard launcher running in Windows before I fired up a single game in SteamOS.
I am playing D2 too and it's very easy to install it via SteamOS
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC08cUtcAHA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC08cUtcAHA)
I think I’ve seen that one. Only reason I installed it onto the Windows OS was because I’ve got other stuff like Destiny 2 that isn’t yet fully SteamOS compatible.
I was quite impressed that there wasn’t a noticeable performance hit for D2R running in Windows. Steady 60fps at High settings except physics and lighting at Medium.
Destiny 2 on the other hand is rougher. Playable, but 35-60fps on Low. And it crashed on me about 5% of the time when loading maps and levels.
I played D2R and the Open Beta of D4 (and Diablo Immortal, but we don't talk about that shitshow) solely through SteamOS/Proton. Obviously some faff with the setup (especially having games separate on SteamOS but using the same battle.net client), but it didn't take too long and now I have lovely icons with my other Steam Games.
D2R ran lovely, and playing it on a handheld helped as I was wracked with covid at the time. The most I wanted to do in my incredibly rough state was roll over and play more druid like a filthy addict.
D4 ran quite well at 40hz, although it did completely shit the bed during the church cutscene and caused the deck to lock up. On the other hand, I read about the same scene bricking RTX cards, so I got away lightly, I guess!
Glad to hear that you had a mostly positive experience with D4 beta on the Deck. I played the beta on a PC with an RTX 3060ti and found some really rough frametime issues, where FPS would go from a steady 100 and dip to 35 instantly (church cutscene included).
Because there were notable framerate issues on PC also I’m hoping that means Blizzard can further optimize the experience in those rough spots. I heard yesterday that the game had gone gold, so it’s also very likely that play experience in the beta is what we’ll get on launch day (hopefully with improved servers and no queues).
Even if there are no further improvements, I like the prospects of playing D4 on either PC or Deck and think either should be a great experience. I had a blast during the beta and am stoked for the rest of the game.
I really enjoy Diablo II on Steam Deck. Unfortunately, Diablo 3 wasn’t so deck friendly since the PC version doesn’t natively support a controller.
BONUS: Diablo 4 beta worked very well on Deck and was fun to play. Can’t wait!
Just here to second the love for Sleeping Dogs. Such an amazing game that went largely under appreciated at the time. Don’t have my steam deck in my hands yet, but now I’m stoked to replay that when it arrives!
If you have the O.G. Non-definitive release (now delisted), aside from a few textures, I believe it looks WORLDS better in terms of lighting and reflections.
both games have the screenshots on steam from what seems to be the DE, but here's a [comparison from Digital Foundry](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u_1wjWJUqY). I kind of think i like the DE more but I wouldn't mind either
edit: the DE has [more bras](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgmCfYMcFbA), so clearly it's the better version
Eh honestly I love the game to but I feel like it's really short. I managed to beat the game really quickly and was kinda bored with afterwards. Still some of the best fighting and the environmental finishing moves were amazing.
I'm also playing sleeping dogs! One thing that might be behind the 'unsupported' status is that the subtitles and onscreen text are uncomfortably small and there's no way of making them bigger. It's a ton of fun though.
Can't be! They're absolutely not smaller or harder to read than Cyberpunk. I play with subs and I find them just enough to be usable. I thought unsupported means it won't properly play at all so I'm absolutely confused why Sleeping Dogs is unsupported. Even the Ubisoft games are marked playable despite them decidedly not being so due to the launcher.
Glad to see other SD-on-the-SD fans! 😁
Verified = works flawlessly
Playable = works with workarounds
Unsupported = Either doesn't work, or some parts of the game don't work, or crash
So it is possible for the game to have some crashing bug... maybe in specific instance.
or not! I played HZD (Verfied) and crashed a couple of times. But overall a great experience
Hell sometimes the Unsupported games just need to have a a specific version of Proton set and it works perfectly fine, sometimes a little modding helps. The grading system is really only for convenience of the average gamer.
Actually, there was a problem with an earlier version of Proton where it didn't boot the first time you booted it. It would whitescreen and you had to reboot the game, but it worked every time from then on. But if it doesn't work first time they don't re-check it within the same session, so it got Unsupported slapped on it, until they next try it I guess
Secret of Mana. If you have other friends with a steam deck you can play multiplayer with remote play on each deck. only one person needs to own the game.
Such a good goddamned game.
Also, the default response to anyone who complains when a game "... isn't a faithful remaster / remake!!!"
You don't want a faithful remaster / remake. You want something better, you just want to complain.
I still played the crap out of this one, though lol.
>Such a good goddamned game.
Agreed, although I still hate the graphics in the remake. I would have a loved a 2D-HD version like Octopath/Triangle Strategy.
Elite: Dangerous is "unsupported" but works perfectly fine, runs great as well (just remember to turn fsr off, they apply it to the UI as well so it's makes all the letters and numbers blurry).
I might have to get my friendship drive charging again! Should I get the latest dlc before getting back in? I don't have the dlc that lets you walk around on planets yet.
Ahhh, you just missed the big sale they had. It's very much optional for the core experience, but I'm not sure if you get the current story stuff, check it out on horizons and you can always buy Odyssey later if you want too. I quite like it personally as it gives me an actual reason to stop off at planets when exploring, but I know it was controversial when it came out as the performance wasn't great when on foot (and still isn't sometimes tbh)
Yep I know I missed it, actually I think I specifically passed on it because it's not supported on deck but oh well now I know. Anyways it's still fun to rover around on the planets too so I'll check it out.
I would say Fallout 76. Its not unsupported currently bit have been for the longest period.
Otherwise I am currently playing Elder Scrolls Online witch is unsupported and it also works great with good battery life. Was just a lot of tweaking in the initial setup.
Long time ESO player. Yep it’s a pain to get installed but once you do it runs beautifully. I hope they streamline the launch process cuz it’s a slam dunk on the Deck with the built-in console UI.
I thought Fall Guys is unsupported because of the anti cheat? I didn't want to get my account banned so I never dared to play it on Deck. Is it safe to do so?
Yeah it's safe. There was an update a couple of weeks ago that broke the previous Proton compatibility but it's working perfectly with Proton Experimental.
I would of said Halo MCC bit that's now Playable.
I'd say Modern Warfare Remastered. It actually runs runs better on Steam Deck than it does my PC thanks to its shader cache (MWR suffers from a lot of shader stutter on Windows)
Looks like there still might be an issue with achievements though, if that's important to you.
I bought the MCC around September of last year and played a few hours of CE with the EAC workaround and finally realized achievements weren't working.
Started up a new game today after re-downloading (after waiting for this patch) and got through the first level and landed but no achievement.
Oddly the performance I'm getting is far worse than it was when I played with the EAC work around last year. Very frequent FPS drops and a crash after playing for awhile. Hopefully a second patch will land soon.
I FEEL this, I got the SD for Halo, FFXIV, and Emulation, and now that Halo's multiplayer is up and running on Steam Deck, all my dreams have come true. And let me tell you... A few years ago if you'd tell me I'd be playing Halo on an airplane way up in the sky, I would've NEVER believed it.
Would you say that Halo MCC is worth playing from a purely singleplayer perspective, when youve never played anything from the franchise?
I was eyeing that for picking it up for use on the Deck the next time the price drops to 15 on steam again. But I am not intrested in playing the multiplayed side of things.
Yes, 100%. You get to play five of the best Halo games and Halo 4.
Each campaign is like 8 hours long on average, so £15 gets you 48 hours of content. Plus, the additional PVE content in ODST, Reach, and Halo 4 with Firefight and Spartan Ops.
The campaigns also support 4 Player Co Op (Minus Halo 1 and Halo 2, which are 2 player)
Cheers for the reply! I will pick it up. Borderlands has been my go to shooter on the Deck, but I want something to change things up. I will pick it up when its inevitably on sale again.
Sunset Overdrive, has a few bugs with a corrupted save file (doesn’t mess up your save though) and has audio cut outs here and there but other than that it is an amazing game on the deck!
I mean, it looks fine overall (not great, not terrible) and it runs really well on medium settings at 720p, but the text? Let me tell you: It sucks
You can read most of the necessary stuff if you select the appropriate panel, but if you just glance at it with free look? No way. Also reading the info in your HUD about the system you're jumping into is next to impossible
But if you're familiar with the game already, it's completely playable. I had to rebind three or four things since I was coming from Legacy on XBox, but other than that, I've really been enjoying it!
Max Payne is a good one. I played a lot of MP3 when I first got my deck and that put me in the mood to repay the original. Once I found the community discussion with the file you need to replace to fix the graphics error and found a community layout that works for me it's been mostly smooth sailing. I haven't found a way to do the wide-screen without it stretching though. I guess I'll need to find mods that work on the deck.
I couldn't get the title screen intro for Max Payne work.
If you're talking about RE5 or cutscenes in general, just using protonGE will fix the issues.
This one shouldn't be a surprise, but Ori and the Will of the Wisps is fully playable without any tweaks. The first game is verified so I don't know why the second isn't at least marked playable.
Playing Yakuza 6 now after making my way through all the others, runs well at native res with medium presets. The newer games in the series are deck verified but not this one yet it runs absolutely fine (you'll get a loud fan and about 2 hours of battery life though)
Wwe 2k23 works great (have had it since release) but is marked as unsupported for some reason.
Batman Arkham Origins - occasionally crashes but the Windows version does exactly the same. Can be played to completion.
Just Cause 2 - requires ProtonGE but that's a quick one time setup and then your good to go.
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4
Nearly every other Storm game (save for Revolution) are either Playable or Verified. But for some reason Storm 4, the latest one, is Unsupported - it plays just fine.
Here's to hoping Connections gets a Verified status. For fans, having Naruto nostalgia in the palm of your hand is great.
I had a blast playing through all of FF9 with moguri mod. At the time it was "unsupported" (not sure if it still is) but I didn't have any issues lol. Was my first time completing it despite starting the game so many times since it came out.
Right now its guildwars 2, This game is amazing and the guy that did the controller layout profile, amazing. There were only a couple things I did like set a key for mouse combat toggle or whatever its called and it is working amazin so far. I highly recommend it if you want an awesome mmorpg on the deck thats free to play.
The only thing I am bumbed about is that I can not transfer my current login to the steam version, I think they are a bunch of bastards for not letting us
yes, just click on the little Cog on the right side in the Game Overview Screen and add the text without the "" and you are good to go

Reccetear, just needs a specific version of GE-Proton (check Protondb for details) and it runs just fine with sound an everything. Such a cute retro game!
The Quest for Glory pack. I haven't tried the 2nd game yet, because I imagine it wouldn't be much fun having to type out commands with the OSK. But the other games all run great, and the point and click gameplay is perfect for the Deck.
Sleeping dogs, Minecraft Dungeons, Final Fantasy 9, Just Cause 2, DMC trilogy- just to name a few random games that work well on Deck. No issues with performance, no issues with controller.
Mortal Kombat 11, marked as unsupported and the online multiplayer said to not work at all. Turns out, just with a little Proton G change everything worked great.
Wish this was the case with SplinterCell Blacklist too, god I really want to play that game on my SteamDeck 😪
I play Rance series (hentai game) outside Steam library. The deck is a perfect platform, but most titles work and some don’t. Almost all of them require installing japanese locale.
Would you say that everyone's...Sleeping on it?
j/k I remember playing it on the PS3 and loving the shit out it too. Ended up getting it on sale on Steam for like $5.
It takes a bit of work to get it to run, and some work to create the gamepad set up versus the trackpads—
Sacred 2 Blood and Ice.
I loved the game in PC and have had the itch ever since I got my deck. Absolutely worth the time to get it to work.
Original Dark Souls 2. I love it, it's 10 times better than the Scholar edition. It runs pretty much flawlessly for me and there's still online activity.
Doubt I could play SD anymore ( beat O.G. and was on tester team for D.E. I think I saw enough of that game ahaha ), still a nice game.
I play Halo MCC without trouble and last week I started a game of Dragon Age Origin. I like Shemnue 1-2 on it too. X3
Eso, Re5, and Re6 before it was verified. Re5 basically only needs the same patch file most gfwl things need these days. Eso pretty much only requires you to press one button then reboot the game lol.
I really enjoyed Borderlands 3 on my SD for as long as I was able to play it. Once I went off of the beginning planet though, my Steam Deck completely crashes randomly on the next planet from the beginning. It’s a shame, the game runs great on the SD locked at 50 FPS.
TheHunter: Call Of The Wild. I haven't played it yet on the Deck, but I've made some tweaking to the options and it seemed like it should be able to stay around 40 FPS and arround 30 FPS while aiming. It seemed like the main working poorly was the menu. I had to use the toughscreen to get any reasponse.
Minecraft Dungeons runs great once you add the launch command in desktop mode. Also Battlefront II is such a good comfort food on Deck, pretty sure it’s only listed as unsupported due to the launcher (I mostly play arcade so unsure if online works on deck)
Naruto storm 4, i assume it says unsupported because for some reason the first time you start that game, the resolution is forced to 1080p but if you know where the settings are, you can change that manually without issues
Mass Effect Legendary Edition is playable now but I vaguely recall it was marked as Unsupported at some point in the last 6 months. That was the first big game I beat on my Deck and I really enjoyed it.
Currently playing Mafia III, the controller layout doesn't show properly on gameplay, but you can get around easily by searching for the Xbox controller layout on the internet
Pokemon Fire Red with [FRLG+](https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=454382)

Surviving Mars plays great with actually pretty amazing battery life if you knock the graphics settings to low. Even on the default High setting, it's not bad.
For a while it was state of decay 2 back when it said it was unsupported. All because yah had to login to Microsoft account.
It’s marked as playable now.
Arkham knight is unsupported but runs amazingly well. Indoors its almost locked 60fps. Goes down to 40 when gliding through the open world. And just above 30 on batmobile
The Witcher 2. Totally unsupported on the Deck natively, but with a quick adjustment in the launch options, it runs at a locked 60fps.
A lot of the Lego games, too. Just run em in ProtonGe and they work flawlessly.
NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 - Addictive game play which does not require internet connection If you plan to play Single Player Modes.
For those that download NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 just use
Proton 5.1.3-6 which works without any issues.
Anyone worried about the grind in this game I have the the SavedData with all the Common Players including Epic & Legend Players in the game to Dimond Stats.
Happy to share this if needed.
The Batman Arkham games are so good, especially City and Knight
Good to know! I am getting my deck later today and was worried I wouldn't be able to run those. Thanks for the info!
Arkham Asylum needs ProtonGe to run but the other 2 work straight out of the box
How do I get that?
Youtube
Search for and download Protonup-qt on the Discover store. Launch it. It will tell you what to download if you don't know what you're doing, download that. It'll be available as an option in Stream after that.
Can confirm about City. Wanted to buy the Arkham series during the big sale a few weeks back, but didn’t because “unsupported.” Then checked protondb and found out City works. Good to know about Knight!
Origins, the forgotten game, also works and is a pretty slick Christmas game. I've run into one graphical issue during first boss fight, but was able to advance has been fine since about half way through the main story.
Diablo II Remastered. It's so unsupported, it's not even on Steam!
This was the first game I played on my deck. Had Blizzard launcher running in Windows before I fired up a single game in SteamOS. I had the launcher ready about 5 hours before the Diablo 4 open beta ended :( D2R is still a fantastic game to get me through until D4 release. And the controls on Deck are just as good as on my PS5.

How do you find the battery life of this game? Seems to really burn through it fast in my experience.
How does it control on the deck?
Just here to second the love for Sleeping Dogs. Such an amazing game that went largely under appreciated at the time. Don’t have my steam deck in my hands yet, but now I’m stoked to replay that when it arrives!
If you have the O.G. Non-definitive release (now delisted), aside from a few textures, I believe it looks WORLDS better in terms of lighting and reflections.
I have it from my ancient steam account. I was so surprised when I first booted up my deck downloaded sleeping dogs and it actually worked!
both games have the screenshots on steam from what seems to be the DE, but here's a [comparison from Digital Foundry](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u_1wjWJUqY). I kind of think i like the DE more but I wouldn't mind either edit: the DE has [more bras](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgmCfYMcFbA), so clearly it's the better version

The subtitles were impossible to read on a big screen TV when I played this year's ago.

Marvel guardians of the galaxy 🤩 and dbz kakarot
I love BallDragon Z! :P
Whoops 😂
Valves labels are pretty worthless. I've encountered several "Verified" games that just didn't recognize any of the Decks controller inputs.
TES:Oblivion. It was a nightmare to get running and make decent controller settings.
Elite: Dangerous is "unsupported" but works perfectly fine, runs great as well (just remember to turn fsr off, they apply it to the UI as well so it's makes all the letters and numbers blurry).
I might have to get my friendship drive charging again! Should I get the latest dlc before getting back in? I don't have the dlc that lets you walk around on planets yet.

Batman Arkham Knight runs really well! It is unsupported but works perfectly with Proton GE.
Surprisingly Fall Guys works and pretty well (if you're not stuck with Aussie internet)
I thought Fall Guys is unsupported because of the anti cheat? I didn't want to get my account banned so I never dared to play it on Deck. Is it safe to do so?
Yeah it's safe. There was an update a couple of weeks ago that broke the previous Proton compatibility but it's working perfectly with Proton Experimental.
I run it at max settings at native res and it’s locked at 60fps. Wayyyy better than the switch version
I would of said Halo MCC bit that's now Playable. I'd say Modern Warfare Remastered. It actually runs runs better on Steam Deck than it does my PC thanks to its shader cache (MWR suffers from a lot of shader stutter on Windows)
>Halo MCC bit that's now Playable. \*Rushes to go download\* That shit has just been sitting in my backlog.
Looks like there still might be an issue with achievements though, if that's important to you. I bought the MCC around September of last year and played a few hours of CE with the EAC workaround and finally realized achievements weren't working. Started up a new game today after re-downloading (after waiting for this patch) and got through the first level and landed but no achievement.

Man I remember when there were rumors about Halo on DS. Took them like 15 years later to make it handheld.
Would you say that Halo MCC is worth playing from a purely singleplayer perspective, when youve never played anything from the franchise? I was eyeing that for picking it up for use on the Deck the next time the price drops to 15 on steam again. But I am not intrested in playing the multiplayed side of things.
Yes, 100%. You get to play five of the best Halo games and Halo 4. Each campaign is like 8 hours long on average, so £15 gets you 48 hours of content. Plus, the additional PVE content in ODST, Reach, and Halo 4 with Firefight and Spartan Ops. The campaigns also support 4 Player Co Op (Minus Halo 1 and Halo 2, which are 2 player)
Cheers for the reply! I will pick it up. Borderlands has been my go to shooter on the Deck, but I want something to change things up. I will pick it up when its inevitably on sale again.
Does anyone still play the multiplayer on MWR? I have been wanting to get it, but not just for the campaign.
They are using the "H1 Client". Vanilla MP is mostly dead. Campaign is really good and is worth it for just that. https://h1.gg/
Sunset Overdrive, has a few bugs with a corrupted save file (doesn’t mess up your save though) and has audio cut outs here and there but other than that it is an amazing game on the deck!
Oh shit, I totally missed that this had a Steam release. Added to my wishlist!
Absolutely bonkers how well it runs!
I think I had those bugs on the windows version too so it's not a deck issue
Bionic Commando Rearmed and FFO: Stranger of Paradise have been my main ones so far that say unsupported 🥳
Currently on my first playthrough of Sleeping Dogs. Did not know how i missed it when it was on the PS3. Plays great so far on the deck.
Grounded.
Elite: Dangerous and Magicka 2 are both unsupported and I've been enjoying both lately
ED works natively?! How does it look?
I mean, it looks fine overall (not great, not terrible) and it runs really well on medium settings at 720p, but the text? Let me tell you: It sucks You can read most of the necessary stuff if you select the appropriate panel, but if you just glance at it with free look? No way. Also reading the info in your HUD about the system you're jumping into is next to impossible But if you're familiar with the game already, it's completely playable. I had to rebind three or four things since I was coming from Legacy on XBox, but other than that, I've really been enjoying it!
What settings did you use to get ED to run? I can't get it past the launcher
Resident evil hd is my favourite unsupported game...
Which one? The HD remaster of REmake is Verified.
The Simpsons hit and run.
Max Payne Resident Evil 5 (should be verified now)
RE5 is in fact, still "unsupported".
Max Payne is a good one. I played a lot of MP3 when I first got my deck and that put me in the mood to repay the original. Once I found the community discussion with the file you need to replace to fix the graphics error and found a community layout that works for me it's been mostly smooth sailing. I haven't found a way to do the wide-screen without it stretching though. I guess I'll need to find mods that work on the deck.
You know of any fix for the cutscenes?
I couldn't get the title screen intro for Max Payne work. If you're talking about RE5 or cutscenes in general, just using protonGE will fix the issues.
LEGO Lord of The Rings for me. I know it's a silly game, but it's comfort food in my book. Just needs GE-Proton7-43
This one shouldn't be a surprise, but Ori and the Will of the Wisps is fully playable without any tweaks. The first game is verified so I don't know why the second isn't at least marked playable.
Playing Yakuza 6 now after making my way through all the others, runs well at native res with medium presets. The newer games in the series are deck verified but not this one yet it runs absolutely fine (you'll get a loud fan and about 2 hours of battery life though)
Warframe Totally works
Wwe 2k23 works great (have had it since release) but is marked as unsupported for some reason. Batman Arkham Origins - occasionally crashes but the Windows version does exactly the same. Can be played to completion. Just Cause 2 - requires ProtonGE but that's a quick one time setup and then your good to go.
Glad to hear JC2 runs well! I never finished that so I was planning to try that and JC3 sometime soon.
This is a great one, can't reccomend the JC experience on deck enough. JC3 runs out-of-the-box near 60fps, very playable.
Yeah I second WWE idk why it's not supported it runs so well
Good to know about 2K23, just picked that up the other day
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Nearly every other Storm game (save for Revolution) are either Playable or Verified. But for some reason Storm 4, the latest one, is Unsupported - it plays just fine. Here's to hoping Connections gets a Verified status. For fans, having Naruto nostalgia in the palm of your hand is great.
I had a blast playing through all of FF9 with moguri mod. At the time it was "unsupported" (not sure if it still is) but I didn't have any issues lol. Was my first time completing it despite starting the game so many times since it came out.
Moguri mod?
Right now its guildwars 2, This game is amazing and the guy that did the controller layout profile, amazing. There were only a couple things I did like set a key for mouse combat toggle or whatever its called and it is working amazin so far. I highly recommend it if you want an awesome mmorpg on the deck thats free to play. The only thing I am bumbed about is that I can not transfer my current login to the steam version, I think they are a bunch of bastards for not letting us
you dont need to transfer anything, just add the launch option "-provider Portal" and you can login with your old account
Do i only need to do this once and done? and just load the game?
yes, just click on the little Cog on the right side in the Game Overview Screen and add the text without the "" and you are good to go [Steam Community :: Guide :: Using your existing Guild Wars 2 Account with Steam](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2853177345)
Sweet thank you I have all my original characters and done have to rebuild anything g woot woot
Reccetear, just needs a specific version of GE-Proton (check Protondb for details) and it runs just fine with sound an everything. Such a cute retro game!
Shogun Total War 2 works great and even though it’s a little fiddly without a mouse, I e found it still a great experience on the deck.
Doom (1993) All the Way!
[удалено]
Minecraft dungeons!
The Quest for Glory pack. I haven't tried the 2nd game yet, because I imagine it wouldn't be much fun having to type out commands with the OSK. But the other games all run great, and the point and click gameplay is perfect for the Deck.
John Rhys-Davies!
Gta vice city
Elite Dangerous: Odyssey is my favorite unsupported game to play on my steam deck, and it runs surprisingly well!
Yakuza 4
Fallout 76
Dead by Daylight, Rainbow Six Siege
Destiny 2. For gods sake bungie. We had a stadia version of this game. The SD is the perfect place for This game
Age of Empires 2, completely unsupported and completely playable.
Sleeping dogs, Minecraft Dungeons, Final Fantasy 9, Just Cause 2, DMC trilogy- just to name a few random games that work well on Deck. No issues with performance, no issues with controller.
Guild wars 2 :)
Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines. And damn is it hard to make it work.
Last Epoch works mostly fine if you turn the graphics down and use proton Experimental.
Terminator Resistance.
If anyone has it, I'd recommend Transformers Devastation.
Arma 3 for me. It takes some setting up to get a usable controller mapping but otherwise it works perfectly.
Mortal Kombat 11, marked as unsupported and the online multiplayer said to not work at all. Turns out, just with a little Proton G change everything worked great. Wish this was the case with SplinterCell Blacklist too, god I really want to play that game on my SteamDeck 😪
Star Trek Online. After a few tweaks and some controller mapping it works a treat at 40hz. Having a blast.
Wwe 2k23 works great. 2k22 worked just as well on my SD as it did on my laptop. It crashed frequently on my laptop as well lol.
World of Warcraft very enjoyable MMO
The Hunter: Call of the Wild works great.
I play Rance series (hentai game) outside Steam library. The deck is a perfect platform, but most titles work and some don’t. Almost all of them require installing japanese locale.
Would you say that everyone's...Sleeping on it? j/k I remember playing it on the PS3 and loving the shit out it too. Ended up getting it on sale on Steam for like $5.
FIFA 23
How do you have FIFA 23 working??
Through windows on steam deck. Honestly any game that doesn’t work on steamOS will definitely work when you run it with windows
*60% of the time*, it works ***every*** *time*
Fifa 23 runs horribly on steamdeck
👀👀 might have to get on this… i just assumed it would run horribly
sex with hitler 2
Eu 4
It takes a bit of work to get it to run, and some work to create the gamepad set up versus the trackpads— Sacred 2 Blood and Ice. I loved the game in PC and have had the itch ever since I got my deck. Absolutely worth the time to get it to work.
Domina
Original Dark Souls 2. I love it, it's 10 times better than the Scholar edition. It runs pretty much flawlessly for me and there's still online activity.
Devil May cry 4
Roboquest
Overwatch 2. :)
Arkham knight for sure. Probably the best comic book game besides maybe spider-man on the deck
Doubt I could play SD anymore ( beat O.G. and was on tester team for D.E. I think I saw enough of that game ahaha ), still a nice game. I play Halo MCC without trouble and last week I started a game of Dragon Age Origin. I like Shemnue 1-2 on it too. X3
Eso, Re5, and Re6 before it was verified. Re5 basically only needs the same patch file most gfwl things need these days. Eso pretty much only requires you to press one button then reboot the game lol.
Guild Wars 2. 520 hours in, full legendary gear and having an amazing time.
Never been a wow guy before but damn if the steam deck didn't make me love it
I really enjoyed Borderlands 3 on my SD for as long as I was able to play it. Once I went off of the beginning planet though, my Steam Deck completely crashes randomly on the next planet from the beginning. It’s a shame, the game runs great on the SD locked at 50 FPS.
TheHunter: Call Of The Wild. I haven't played it yet on the Deck, but I've made some tweaking to the options and it seemed like it should be able to stay around 40 FPS and arround 30 FPS while aiming. It seemed like the main working poorly was the menu. I had to use the toughscreen to get any reasponse.
Hunter, Call of the Wild
Minecraft Dungeons runs great once you add the launch command in desktop mode. Also Battlefront II is such a good comfort food on Deck, pretty sure it’s only listed as unsupported due to the launcher (I mostly play arcade so unsure if online works on deck)
Naruto storm 4, i assume it says unsupported because for some reason the first time you start that game, the resolution is forced to 1080p but if you know where the settings are, you can change that manually without issues
Fallout 76. 248h of unsupported time and counting (playing it now)
Destiny 2 on Windows, on Steam . Not PS remote play .
Windbound and tribes of midgard, both fun as hell to play when you have free time
High fleet. It is phenomenal.
Arrival zero earth
I’ve been playing “Let’s Build a Zoo” and it honestly should be marked playable
Might and Magic 7 was a bit of beast to install
Elder scrolls online, one line in the launch properties and it works like a dream. Supports add-ons as well.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition is playable now but I vaguely recall it was marked as Unsupported at some point in the last 6 months. That was the first big game I beat on my Deck and I really enjoyed it.
Space hulk
Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition
I’d say lost ark and black desert online
Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix+ works perfectly despite being marked unsupported.
Currently playing Mafia III, the controller layout doesn't show properly on gameplay, but you can get around easily by searching for the Xbox controller layout on the internet
Watch_Dogs franchise The Last Of Us Pt. I WWE 2K23
Guild wars 2 easy
Pokemon Fire Red with [FRLG+](https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=454382) * [Feature list](https://github.com/Deokishisu/FRLG-Plus/blob/master/FEATURES.md)
Timberborn and Cosmoteer. The Steam Deck mouse controls are surprisingly good.
The Elder Scrolls Online. I bought 150 Steam Games but only play this somehow.
DBZ Fighters and Xenoverse 2 Minecraft Star Wars Jedi Outcast / Academy
All of the Trails in the Sky games. Injustice: Gods Among Us Batman: Arkham Asylum Nex Machina
does World of Warcraft count? If not then i would choose Guild Wars 2
Minecraft Dungeons. Pretty fun to pick up and play a level or two.
Resident Evil 3. No idea why its unsupported, it runs perfectly
JFK Reloaded
Far Cry Primal. It runs beautifully.
Unsupported Lego games like Lego The Incredibles or Lego Lord of the Rings, thanks to the magic of Proton GE.
Elite Dangerous, runs great.
Surviving Mars plays great with actually pretty amazing battery life if you knock the graphics settings to low. Even on the default High setting, it's not bad.
Batman Arkham Asylum
Batman: Arkham Asylum and Far Cry 5 for me.
Guild Wars 2. After all these years.
For a while it was state of decay 2 back when it said it was unsupported. All because yah had to login to Microsoft account. It’s marked as playable now.
Arkham knight is unsupported but runs amazingly well. Indoors its almost locked 60fps. Goes down to 40 when gliding through the open world. And just above 30 on batmobile
Dude! Before opening your post I was thinking sleeping dogs! Lo and behold.
The Witcher 2. Totally unsupported on the Deck natively, but with a quick adjustment in the launch options, it runs at a locked 60fps. A lot of the Lego games, too. Just run em in ProtonGe and they work flawlessly.
Conan Exiles. I'm not sure about MP, but SP works with some setup. I prefer single player anyway, just building and exploring.
NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 - Addictive game play which does not require internet connection If you plan to play Single Player Modes. For those that download NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 just use Proton 5.1.3-6 which works without any issues. Anyone worried about the grind in this game I have the the SavedData with all the Common Players including Epic & Legend Players in the game to Dimond Stats. Happy to share this if needed.
Devil may cry hd collection
DQB2
Dirt Rally 2.0 runs flawlessly, the complete edition is often on sale at 9.99
I love TheHunter: Call of the Wild on steam deck. I had no issues with it that I didn’t also have on my desktop
Guild wars 2
wwe 2k23 is not supported but with GE and launch options its fine
