Valve launches a label to identify games optimized for the Steam Deck

Deck, Games, Identify, label, launches, Optimized, Steam, Valve

We’re about to finally find out how the new Steam Deck works. Although the company doesn’t want to call it a “portable console”, we’re all going to know it that way. Personally, I really like the option, and that it is the company itself that is pushing for the project to go well is a plus for its purchase. Because yes, we’ve seen other “Mini-PCs” in the form of a laptop like the GPD, but it’s not the same as having Valve behind the development.

The fact is that now they take another step, one of those that will make those who are thinking of getting the device in question fall in love. This is a detail that may seem insignificant, but it is not. It’s about bookmarking games that are already optimized for your laptop.

This feature will allow you to filter games from the Steam Deck

Microsoft already does this in the Microsoft Store, you can see which games are optimized for the Xbox Series, which only play on PC or console. Well, Valve has now done the same with certain games, marking them to identify which of them have been tried and tested on the console, to ensure the user has the best experience.

For now only available for certain games, not for everybody. And in fact it’s not something that can be seen, you have to dig into the source code. We see that this is a function that is not yet ready. To date, 67 games out of the 60,000 available in the catalog have been discovered, but this is already a step.

I don’t know what you will think of them, but I like that they make it easier for me and it gives me more confidence when betting on the gadget. I had doubts about how it worked, but if games like Sekiro are certified, the truth is that it’s enough for me.
