Are all games compatible with Steam Deck?

Nope, not all games play nice with the Steam Deck right out of the box. Some games require a bit of tweaking or aren't supported due to anti-cheat software not playing ball with SteamOS. Steam's got a handy system though, with games labeled as Verified, Playable, Unsupported, or Unknown to help sort out what works best.

Honestly, it's a mixed bag. Most games will run just fine on Steam Deck, but don't expect every title to work perfectly. It really depends on the game and if it's been optimized for the platform or not. I'd say check the Steam store for the compatibility icons before you buy.

Game compatibility on the Steam Deck isn't universal. Despite a vast library, due to hardware limitations and software incompatibilities, not every game will work. It's always best to check Steam's game pages for specific compatibility info.

Not all, but a huge chunk of them are! Steam has a verification system that labels games as Verified, Playable, or Unsupported on the Deck. Stick to the Verified ones for a smooth experience, but don't be afraid to experiment with others.
