What the ratings mean

Steam Deck (Valve)

Valve tests each game itself. Verified: works with the built-in controls and screen out of the box. Playable: works, but may need the touchscreen, a different control layout or settings changes. Unsupported: does not run on SteamOS, often because of anti-cheat. The same rating covers the LCD and OLED models.

ProtonDB (community)

Players' reports of how a game runs on Linux through Proton, the layer SteamOS uses. Platinum means it runs perfectly out of the box; Gold after small tweaks; Silver and Bronze with growing problems; Borked means it doesn't run. The report count shows how much the rating rests on.

Windows handhelds

Handhelds such as the ROG Xbox Ally X or Legion Go 2 run Windows, so the Steam Deck and ProtonDB ratings don't apply to them: anti-cheat games that are blocked on SteamOS can run there. How smoothly a game plays still depends on the chip; see each handheld's review consensus.
