Steam Deck Verified/Playable Highlights 1/8/24 - 1/14/24

Over the last week, a solid number of games were brought into the Steam Deck Verified/Playable fold, including one of the games I have been looking forward to most this year: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. With that in mind, here are the eight new Verified and Playable games we found that deserved to be highlighted:

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

Steam Deck Verified/Playable Highlights 1/8/24 - 1/14/24

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (Verified)

Two larger-than-life heroes, Ichiban Kasuga and Kazuma Kiryu are brought together by the hand of fate, or perhaps something more sinister… Live it up in Japan and explore all that Hawaii has to offer in an RPG adventure so big it spans the Pacific.

The game will be released on January 25th, but is available to preorder now for $69.99. The game is rated Verified.

Made in a close partnership with Games Workshop, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is a story-rich classical RPG from Owlcat Games, developers of the critically acclaimed game, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.

VVVVVV (Verified)

VVVVVV is a platform game all about exploring one simple mechanical idea - what if you reversed gravity instead of jumping? The game is designed not to artificially gate your progress.
