Steam Deck game library now 29% larger than that of Nintendo Switch

And also, whenever the next one comes along that library will still be there

Every other console you have the concept of "backwards compatibility" as a feature rather than an expectation.

I'm surprised the difference isn't much higher, but I guess there's a ton of shovelware on the Switch.

Also I can emulate a steamdeck on my desktop without being sued!

And you can emulate the Switch on the Deck.

It's quite a lot more than that if you count all the titles that work but aren't verified, I imagine!

My steam deck is also just stable as my switch now despite that not being the case when I first got mine.

As an owner of the Switch (with a huge backlog) and a dreaming owner of the Steam Deck, should I be happy or worried about the backlog?

Isn't that comparison asinine? I mean... Yeah, no shit. One is a handheld PC and the other isn't.

That’s an embarrassingly small number of games for a PC… a PC should have access to far more games than that. I’m sure that’s just the “verified” games, but it’s pretty dumb to flaunt it like it’s something impressive.

Ugh! We don’t want larger games! We want more games!

As a Lenovo Go user that can access both worlds this is an interesting article to see where I stand in terms of overall access to games. But shouldn't a Steamdeck have more titles? As far as I know you can't you also side install Windows for games from other platforms?

Though both have a shit ton of shovelware garbage

I don’t own anything Nintendo but I thought there would only be like 200 games.

I bet the amount of games that are what most would consider fully compatible is much higher than the amount of green checkmark games (valve just doesn't have time to check every single game out there).

What I would consider falling in that category is full Xinput controller support, no keybinding necessary, and Fully functional under proton. Yes you can get other games working but that's the optimal conditions for normies to play the games without fiddling.

Tried to get steredenn working on Steam deck in February. Failed miserably (controls didn't work).

Works on switch (within it's limitations of course).

Take that 😂

Btw steredenn is even Linux natively, that's what made me even more angry.

Edit: What's with the downvotes? I mean it's fine but - if I did something wrong or it works since date x, tell me!
