Steam Deck and SteamOS hit 20,000 playable games
Valve’s rating system for Steam Deck and SteamOS seems to have sped up recently, with 20,000 games now rated at least playable. Previously they hit 19,000 in May, 18,000 in March and 17,000 in November 2024.
If a game is at least Playable on Steam Deck, it will also be compatible with SteamOS. The ratings for SteamOS are a bit different to how it’s done on Steam Deck with less being checked. The main point for the SteamOS rating is that the game will actually load up and be playable, but performance and features will depend on the specific device you have SteamOS on. Compared with SteamOS where performance is supposed to be checked along with full controller support, resolution and more.

I really do love this one
There have been issues with the ratings in the past. Overall though, the rating is just to show you what should be playable. People have pretty wildly different feelings on what is “playable” though. It’s not a perfect system but even on traditional consoles games slip through that don’t work well. Hopefully Valve will continue tweaking their tests over time to make them as accurate as possible.
Given the unique nature of Steam for Linux systems like Steam Deck / SteamOS, this is only counting games that have actually been tested. Many more will be playable.
