So far, every such graphically unsupported Steam Deck game we’ve found on the Steam store is currently listed with a Steam Engine compatibility status of “Unknown”. For all of these titles, Valve simply says that it’s “still studying” the game and that “We don’t have any additional information regarding Steam Machine compatibility at this time.”
It’s a shame, because many of these games battling it out on the Steam Deck could certainly do well. more powerful Steam Engine equipment. And owners of new Steam Machines will no doubt want to know if their brand new living room box can play these games, many of which have appeared on Steam’s Best Sellers list (currently or in the past).
We were just wondering…
There’s good news for Steam Machine users in yesterday’s Verification update. Games with text too small to read on Steam Deck are perfect when played on a large TV. This means “Playable” games like Steam Deck 007: First Light and P’s lies Upgrade to “Verified” on Steam. But games that Valve demoted to “Playable” on Steam Deck because they require an on-screen keyboard still get a similar warning on Steam Machine, so you might want to keep a wireless keyboard next to your couch.
We’ve included a list of about two dozen games that Valve says can run on SteamOS but won’t run well on Steam Deck, and that Valve hasn’t yet tested on Steam Machine. Hopefully they’ll soon get the Steam Machine utility rating they deserve, up or down (a Valve representative wasn’t immediately available to respond to Ars’ request for comment).
