Valve has updated the Steam Deck compatibility list for the week of September 14, 2026, adding several new titles to its Verified and Playable categories. This update matters to handheld owners because it expands the library of games that run smoothly without manual configuration. Players looking for new experiences can now launch these titles with confidence, knowing they meet Valve's performance standards.
Valve expands official support for Planet Zoo 2 and classic titles ahead of October launches
The Verified badge indicates that games run on the Steam Deck with no significant issues, such as performance, compatibility, or usability problems. This week, Planet Zoo 2 and Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter earned this status. Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition, Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North Legacy Edition, and Doggy Don't Care also received Verified status.
- Planet Zoo 2: Verified
- Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter: Verified
- Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition: Verified

The Playable badge means games run on the Steam Deck but may have minor issues that do not prevent play. Crimson Moon and The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival received this status. Bus Simulator 27 and Another Edin Begins were also marked as Playable due to user interface or text display issues. These distinctions help buyers understand what to expect before purchasing.
Doggy Don't Care is scheduled for release on September 24, 2026, and has already secured Verified status ahead of launch. Planet Zoo 2 is set to release on October 13, 2026, and Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter released on October 15, 2026. Other titles listed have release dates or availability windows that include September 24 and October 15. We looked at the last Steam Deck update, several of the same balance and stability themes came up.
