Valve’s new SteamOS compatibility ratings go beyond the Steam Deck

Valve’s Steam Deck “Verified” program is pretty great, but extremely specific to… well, the Steam Deck. But now that SteamOS is expanding into other non-Steam Deck devices, we’re going to need something a little more general to tell if a Steam game will work on a particular device. Enter the SteamOS Compatibility system, a rating that will be similar but separate to the Steam Deck Verified status.

According to Valve’s announcement post, a game needs to pass a pretty low bar to be marked as “SteamOS Compatible” on the store.
