With the launch of Valve’s Steam Deck handheld, Microsoft has announced which of their Steam games are compatible with Steam Deck.
Microsoft said that Forza Horizon 5/4 and Brain Navigator 2 can be played on Steam Deck, while the Halo series will not be able to support the device due to anti-cheat requirements.
Fully supported games:
- Brain Navigator 2
- Blade of Hell
- Battle Frog
- Doodle Hero: Brotherhood
Games that can be played:
- Sea of Thieves
- Forza Motorsport: Horizon 5
- Forza Motorsport: Horizon 4
- Quantum Break
- State of Decay: Anniversary Survival Edition
Unsupported games:
- Gears of War 5
- Halo: The Master Chief Collection
- Halo: Infinite
- Microsoft Flight Simulator X
Fortnite and Destiny 2 are also not playable on Steam Deck. While Valve is working on getting both Easy Anti-Cheat and BattlEye to run on Steam Deck’s SteamOS via the Proton Compatibility Layer, it’s clear that the level of security doesn’t meet the standards of some games.
