Boiling Steam reported on August 22, 2026, that 18 new games released between August 15 and August 22 have received either "Verified" or "Playable" compatibility ratings for the Steam Deck. These ratings indicate Valve's assessment of how well a game runs on the portable Linux gaming device. Among the newly compatible titles, the report highlighted "How to Fish," described as "a brilliant co-op chaotic," and "Twisted Tower," characterized as "a retro Bioshock set inside a Carnival." This latest selection further expands the Steam Deck's growing library of officially supported games, demonstrating continued support for the platform's Proton compatibility layer.
