There are some great new Steam Deck Verified and Playable games this week. HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush and the new Dragon Quest Heroes: Torneko's Mystery Dungeon -Classic HD- both got their green checkmarks, while SPRAWL Zero and RuneScape: Dragonwilds are both rated Playable now.

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 9/7/26 - 9/13/26

SPRAWL Zero (Playable) (SDHQ Review)

SPRAWL zero is a fast-paced shooter inspired by the Golden Age of 2000s FPS. Survive a brutal cyberpunk city collapsing under military rule and cult fanaticism. Use your Gravity-Gloves, augments, and an arsenal of over 40 weapons to crush those who stand in your way.

The game is on sale for $19.99 until September 22nd and is rated Playable due to small in-game text and showing incorrect controller icons.

HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush (Verified) (SDHQ Review)

Jump into a Hot Wheels™-sized world with four islands packed with events, challenges and full-throttle mayhem. Collect iconic vehicles, assemble your Rush Squad, build epic tracks, and earn the title of Rush Master.

The game is $49.99 and is rated Verified.

Silver Pines (Verified)

Silver Pines is a survival horror metroidvania set in small town America. Fight nightmarish terrors and solve puzzles, while carefully managing your scarce resources as you uncover the mysteries that could hold the key to redemption.

The game will be released on October 8th and is rated Verified.

Dragon Quest Heroes: Torneko's Mystery Dungeon -Classic HD- (Verified)

The game is $24.99 and is rated Verified.

RuneScape: Dragonwilds (Playable)

On RuneScape's forgotten continent of Ashenfall, dragons have awoken. Gather, build, skill and craft in this co-operative survival adventure. Only by mastering survival and uncovering ancient secrets can you hope to face the ferocious Dragon Queen.

The game is $29.99 and is rated Playable due to the game using a third-party launcher, needing a community controller configuration, showing incorrect controller icons, needing manual configuration of graphical settings to perform well, and small in-game text.

Rise of the Ronin (Playable)

An open-world RPG set in the Bakumatsu period, where players take on the role of a ronin forging their own destiny. The game features multiple possible endings, allowing players to choose which faction to support—such as the anti-shogunate faction, pro-shogunate faction, or Western forces—which significantly alters the story's outcome.

The game is $49.99 and is rated Playable due to needing to change the graphical settings for optimal performance and small in-game text. However, it's worth noting that the game doesn't perform well, so we don't recommend getting it on the Deck.

WWE 2K26 (Playable)

The show never stops in WWE 2K26! Step into CM Punk’s 2K Showcase, dominate with 400+ Superstars and Legends, and unleash chaos with all-new match types.

The game is on sale for $34.99 until September 18th and is rated Playable due to small in-game text and needing to manually change the graphical configuration for optimal play.
