Classic games you can play on Steam Deck
739 of the modern alternatives in this catalogue are Steam Deck Verified and 619 more are Playable, which together cover 1358 ways to play a classic on a Deck.
Verified means Valve has tested the game and it works out of the box: readable text, working controller defaults, no mid-game keyboard prompts. Playable means it runs but needs something from you, usually a controller-layout tweak or clicking through a launcher. Ratings come from Valve, not from our own testing, and they change as games are patched.
