But while many games might be granted a &#8220;Verified&#8221; badge, there have been many cases where real-world performance doesn&#8217;t live up to the expectation of players. That&#8217;s why Valve has introduced a more nuanced way for you to determine if a game is a good fit for the Steam Deck.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with the Steam Deck verification status, games will now feature average frame-rate data on the store page once Valve has gathered enough data from players.
