Can’t wait to load up Halo: Infinite or Halo: The Master Chief Collection on your Steam Deck? Sorry to disappoint, but neither of these titles will work on Valve’s new handheld. Gears 5 and Microsoft Flight Simulator aren’t playable on the Steam Deck either, and the reason for this relates to anti-cheat, according to a roundup of Verified and Playable games under the Xbox Game Studios label that Microsoft shared today.
Unsupported, due to anti cheat:
- Gears 5
- Halo MCC
- Halo Infinite
- Microsoft Flight Simulator X
And here’s the games from Microsoft that actually work on Steam Deck. Deck Verified means that the game features full controller compatibility, supports the default resolution of Steam Deck, doesn’t display any compatibility warnings, and is supported by Proton.
Steam Deck Verified:
- Psychonauts 2
- Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice
- Battletoads
- Max: The Curse of Brotherhood
Playable:
- Sea of Thieves
- Forza Horizon 5
- Forza Horizon 4
- Quantum Break
- State of Decay: YOSE
