Hey everyone! I’m curious to know what non-verified games actually play decently on the Steam Deck. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by ‘Ready or Not’ and how smoothly it runs. What other games have you found that perform well despite not being on the verified list?

Games like Kingdom Come Deliverance and its sequel really shine on the Deck with hardly any problems. I put a good amount of hours into them and they run great! Just a few minor hiccups in crowded areas, but nothing that ruins the experience.
If you’re looking for something fun, check out the Batman Arkham series. They all run smoothly on Proton GE, though you might get some occasional audio issues after resuming from sleep. Worth playing for the nostalgia!
I can vouch for that! Origins runs great too, even though it looks a bit dated compared to the remastered trilogy.
ProtonDB is a solid resource for finding games that run well, even if they aren’t verified. Just a heads-up though, some users might not report issues accurately, as they often just play for a short time and give a thumbs up without realizing any problems they might have missed. Still, it’s way better than the Steam verification system!
Right, I’ve seen games marked as ‘Gold’ that still have some issues. Like, both Apex and Battlefield are listed as gold but aren’t perfect.
Totally agree! I’ve been playing docked, and it runs smoothly for me, just a little chugging sometimes.
