Runs on Steam Deck & Linux (ProtonDB Platinum/Gold)

Two verdicts: Valve's official Deck Verified program, and ProtonDB's community reports — they don't always agree. The table below is ranked by ProtonDB Platinum/Gold (community-run compatibility database, not Valve's program); Platinum means the community reports the game runs perfectly out of the box on Proton, Gold means it runs well after minor tweaks. Where we've also captured Valve's own verdict it shows in the "Valve says" column — an em dash means Valve hasn't rated it (or we haven't captured that rating yet). Listed here at 50+ Steam reviews, ranked by review count.

11,955 games with 50 or more Steam reviews currently carry a ProtonDB Platinum or Gold rating in the census (7,536 Platinum and 4,419 Gold). The first table lists the 100 with the most reviews. Valve's own Deck Verified program is a separate verdict: 5,848 games with 50 or more reviews carry its Verified badge, and 3,477 of those also hold a ProtonDB Platinum or Gold rating. Of the 11,955 ProtonDB-listed games, Valve has a captured rating for 9,629 (3,477 Verified, 4,844 Playable, 1,308 Unsupported), while 2,326 have no Valve rating on record. Valve marks 1,308 of them Unsupported even though ProtonDB's community rates them Platinum or Gold, so the two verdicts disagree there. The most-played Valve-Verified game right now is Warframe, at 101,943 concurrent players in the census's latest sample and a ProtonDB tier of gold. In the first table, 43 of the 100 rows are Platinum and 57 are Gold, and the "Valve says" column reads Verified for 50, Playable for 44 and Unsupported for 5, with 1 left blank. Those 100 games hold 63M Steam reviews between them, and the median game among them is 93.0% positive. Counter-Strike 2 is ranked first by review count with 9.9M reviews, 85.8% positive, followed by Dota 2 (2.8M) and Grand Theft Auto V Legacy (2.1M). The Valve Deck Verified table lists 100 games, led by Terraria with 1.6M reviews (97.4% positive); 64 of them also hold a ProtonDB Platinum rating and 36 hold Gold.

How to read this: there are two independent verdicts here and neither is derived from the other. ProtonDB tiers come from reports that players submit about how a game runs through Proton on Linux and Steam Deck; Platinum and Gold are the two highest of its tiers, and the census lists a game once it has 50 or more Steam reviews so a handful of reports can't carry a row. Valve's Deck Verified, Playable and Unsupported ratings come from Valve's own testing and are captured from Steam's store data, so a game can be Platinum on ProtonDB while Valve has never rated it, or the other way round. The counts above are recomputed on every page load from the census database, and the review and percent-positive columns are the same Steam figures used across the site. See the methodology page for how reviews, tiers and player counts are collected and how often they refresh.
