It’s been the best handheld I’ve ever had hands down. The sheer volume of verified games and the versatility of the device are unrivaled. I’ve been able to put it in so many configurations and customize its use to what I need. I bought a wireless kb and mouse and a usb dongle to run everything into it and I’ve even gotten some xreal airs and can play with the projected screen and it works great. The best part? If I put them on and get in bed it allows you to play games while lying completely flat . That might not sound like it matters. But you cannot do that with any other device. You gotta turn your head or prop yourself up to play. It is peak laziness. And I live for it.

At time of writing the current numbers are:

You can check out the full list on SteamDB, which includes titles that had their store page hidden although owners can still download the games.

There's various reasons for games to no longer be sold including expired licensing.

You can download and try anything on Steam Deck these are just what Valve put through testing.
