There are some great new Steam Deck Verified and Playable games to enjoy this week. Path of Exile 2 and the upcoming Deep Dish Dungeon both got the green checkmark, while Dressmaker and Dragon Age: Inquisition are both rated Playable.

Here are the 10 highlights we found:

Verified or Playable games don't automatically mean they work amazingly out of the box. Some of these games may require work to optimize and play well. Here are our thoughts on the system and how it can be fixed.

Steam Deck Verified/Playable Highlights 9/21/26 - 9/27/26

Dressmaker (Playable)

Become a dressmaker! Choose fabric, cut out patterns, and sew them all together to satisfy (or sabotage!) townsfolk in this cozy crafting game inspired by real dressmaking.

The game is $14.99 and is rated Playable due to showing incorrect controller icons, minor graphical issues, and small in-game text.

Path of Exile 2 (Verified)

Path of Exile 2 is a next generation Action RPG from Grinding Gear Games, featuring co-op for up to six players. Set years after the original Path of Exile, you will return to the dark world of Wraeclast and seek to end the corruption that is spreading.

The game is $29.99 and is rated Verified.

Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered (Verified)

A striking revival of DYNASTY WARRIORS 3 and DYNASTY WARRIORS 3: Xtreme Legends, which established the foundation of the entire series. The complete cast of more than 40 officers and numerous battlefields beautifully recreated using Unreal Engine 5. Experience even more enjoyable and thrilling action as you aim for the peak of 1 vs. 1,000!

The game can be pre-ordered for $39.99 ahead of its September 30th release date, and is rated Verified.

The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival (Verified)

Fight walkers as Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon, Michonne, and unlockable Negan in a brutal arcade brawler set in the world of AMC’s The Walking Dead. Face ruthless enemies like the Saviors and overwhelming walker swarms as you unleash relentless combos, signature weapon attacks, and crushing finishers.

The game is $19.99 and is rated Verified.

Normal Golf Game (Verified)

From the twisted well-adjusted twisted mind of Luke Muscat (Fruit Ninja, Jetpack Joyride), Normal Golf Game is a sadistically accurate recreation of the noble game of golf. Use physics to manipulate the path of your club, while simultaneously managing your stance, direction, and the angle and path of the face.

The game is on sale for $7.99 until October 5th and is rated Verified.

Dragon Age: Inquisition (Playable)

When the sky opens up and rains down chaos, the world needs heroes. Become the savior of Thedas in Dragon Age: Inquisition – Game of the Year Edition. You are the Inquisitor, tasked with saving the world from itself. But the road ahead is paved with difficult decisions. Thedas is a land of strife. Factions constantly war with each other even as a larger demonic invasion has begun. And you? You and your band of champions are the only ones who can hold it together. It’s your job to lead them...or fall.

The game is $39.99 and is rated Playable due to needing a community controller configuration, showing incorrect controller icons, needing to bring up the virtual keyboard manually, and small in-game text.

Deep Dish Dungeon (Verified)

A survival exploration game where you navigate through a puzzly hand-crafted dungeon, with metroidvania and crafting elements. Unravel the enigmas of the dungeon’s depths solo or online co-op multiplayer.

The game will be released on October 13th and is rated Verified.

Enter the Chronosphere (Verified)

Everything moves when you do in Enter the Chronosphere, the turn-based roguelike. Each chronosphere is procedurally generated with defenders and biomes from the worlds it has consumed. Break in, find exotic weaponry and gadgets, outsmart hostile aliens, and fight your way to the core.

The game is $14.99 and is rated Verified.

Thief: The Dark Project Remastered (Verified)

In Thief: The Dark Project Remastered, Nightdive Studios brings back the pioneering 3D stealth game from Looking Glass Studios. Described by its developers as a “first-person sneaker,” the 1998 title challenged norms with its non-confrontational gameplay at a time when most first-person games prioritized combat. Thief was the first stealth game to use light and sound as game mechanics to help you hide from and sneak up on characters, rather than simply attacking them.

The game is coming out soon and is rated Verified.

Graveyard Keeper 2 (Verified)

The most inaccurate medieval cemetery sim is back! Restore The Town, manage the graveyard, automate production, lead your undead army into battle and turn the zombie problem into a thriving business! Graveyard Keeper 2 is the grotesque sequel that's deeper than six feet, and more unhinged than ever!

The game is $24.99 and is rated Verified.

And that's all for this week's list! You can check out the previous week's list as well, which includes titles like Planet Zoo 2, Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter, and Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition.
