There were some great new Steam Deck Verified and Playable games to check out this week. Lumines Arise got the Verified badge, and I adored playing it on the Steam Deck. Europa Universalis 5 also got the Playable badge, while the new INAZUMA ELEVEN: Victory Road got the green checkmark.

Here are the 9 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 11/10/25 - 11/16/25
