Don’t buy untested games
This just about goes without saying: if a game isn’t verified for Steam Deck, assume it won’t be playable. At least, that’s what I encountered in my testing. You can download the game, but it might not even open. It’s not like Valve is pulling a fast one on us; add a game to your cart that isn’t verified and a bright yellow warning appears, stating your game “may not function properly on Steam Deck.” My advice? If you already own a game, go ahead and try to play it; you can always uninstall it later. If an unverified game isn’t already in your library, don’t buy it hoping it’ll run on the Steam Deck.
