Game Translation Layer Starts? Playable? Recommended refresh-rate Recommended FPS cap Comment
Alone in the Dark (2008) Proton 7.0-4
x x Major graphical glitches. Also shoutouts to that SecuROM still being present....
Anomaly Warzone Earth Proton 7.0-4
x x Broken scaling - that also sometimes happened on PC, though. Playing with configs may potentially fix it.
Blood: Fresh Supply Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 60 fps Requires updating SDL2 library.
Cruelty Squad Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 60 fps Good luck getting the controls right.
Cryostasis Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 60 fps May fail to render subtitles in menus. Edit config file and set shading model to 4 to bypass this issue.
Crysis Remastered Proton 7.0-4
40 Hz / 60 Hz 40 fps / 60 fps Can reach 60 fps by default, but it won't keep it - modifying settings or lowering the fps cap is somewhat required.
Crysis 2 Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 60 fps I would probably recommend just that - 60 fps and all settings on High, DX11, High resolution textures. Alternatively bumping objects, shading and possibly even shadows to ultra should still provide 60 fps, but at that point will use around 20WAT of power giving approx. 1h 50min of playtime. Dropping refresh rate may also work.
Cultic Proton 7.0-4 / Proton Experimental
60 Hz 30 fps Performs really badly very often stutters and inconsistent frame times.
Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut Proton 7.0-4 / Proton Experimental
x x Crashes after intro.
Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise Proton 7.0-4
40 Hz 40 fps Starts without issues, should probably be limited to 40 for smooth framerate. Requires some tinkering to get my hack running (instructions on Github).
Deus Ex Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 60 fps Surprisingly starts without issues. But to make it playable, you'll probably need keyboard and mouse anyway. Or get really creative with your bindings.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 60 fps Launcher is a bit annoying, but once you get past to it - seems to be a smooth sailing with FPS being pretty much locked at 60 and battery not draining too fast. Surprising, considering how bad frame pacing is on powerful PC on Windows.
Death Stranding: Director's Cut Proton 7.0-4
40 Hz / 60 Hz 40 fps / 30 fps No problems noticed so far. Probably worth capping to 40 or maybe even 30.
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen Proton 7.0-4
50 Hz / 60 Hz 50 fps / 60 fps Can technically run the game without problems on settings maxed out at 60 Hz, but it will start using quite a bit of energy. Lowering refresh rate to 50 Hz should drastically reduce the amount energy used (alternatively lowering some graphics settings will also do the trick).
Echelon (2001) Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 60 fps Awful to get it running, because of how bad the installation process that Buka Entertainement wrote is on Steam (with full of bugs CMD that tries to set up registry). Just get my executable that sets it, change the name of game's executable, put my executable in its place, clear everything from .bat file aside from the line that launches Echelon.exe. Run it from Steam, so it registers properly, then restore original executable in its place.
Fallout Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 60 fps Hard to play because of its control method.
Fallout 3 Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 60 fps High settings preset - no issues.
Fallout: New Vegas Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 60 fps High settings preset - no issues.
Fallout 4 Proton 7.0-4
40 Hz / 50 Hz / 60 Hz 40 fps / 50 fps / 60 fps Depending on the settings. When using somewhere between Medium and High game preset, Steam Deck seems to have no issues doing almost locked 60 fps. But bumping some rendering options and lowering the cap may be preferable.
Hrot Proton 7.0-4
x x Massive performance issues, but the performance has increased since Proton 6, so it might be working fine soon.
Jets'n'Guns 2 Proton 7.0-4
x x Crashes at start.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 30 fps
Mass Effect Legendary Edition Proton 7.0-4
x x Utter nightmare to get running thanks to EA App.... but it can run.
Max Payne Proton 7.0-4
x x Technically gets to menu, but loading a map causes tons of errors to pop up.
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 60 fps No issues like with the first game. Just the controls need some work.
Persona 5 Royal Proton 7.0-4
40 Hz 40 fps Some city sections make the Deck struggle, but other than that - it's fine... and you don't need much FPS to play this game anyway.
Phantom Doctrine Proton 7.0-4
40 Hz 40 fps Cutscenes has to be skipped manually before they finish or the game softlocks.
Prodeus Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 60 fps Runs fine as long as you don't enable SSAO and SSR.
RAGE Proton 7.0-4 / Proton Experimental / GE-Proton 7-35
x x Textures are corrupted, sadly. Would be a really fun game to play on a deck otherwise.
Resident Evil HD Remaster Proton 7.0-4
40 Hz / 60 Hz 40 fps / 30 fps For whatever reason, it seems to be pushing GPU quite hard, so it's best to lower screen refresh to 40 Hz to extend battery life (it eats around 15-17 WATs then) or even 60 Hz, 30 fps.
Ryse: Son of Rome Proton 7.0-4
Seems to have no issues looking great and running great, although a cap at 40 (or 30) is something I would recommend.
SimRail - The Railway Simulator: Prologue Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 30 fps Can't rotate camera. It's possible it may be playable if a mouse is plugged it, but other than that - unplayable. FPS around 30.
SimRail - The Railway Simulator GE-Proton 7-34
60 Hz 30 fps Somehow despite not many changes to the code - it has no issue with camera rotation. 30 fps cap is pretty much required. Crashes on normal preset (one of the settings seems to be crashing it).
Sleeping Dogs Proton 7.0-4
50 Hz / 60 Hz 50 fps / 60 fps Runs at 60 fps without much of an issue. Bumping graphics to maximum (aside from AA) will probably make it run around 30 though.
Split Second Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 60 fps Minor graphical glitches.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat Proton 7.0-4
x x Starts and run just fine with default (DX9) renderer. Switching to DX11 causes the game to crash at start up.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 60 fps No issues with performance from what I have played it. Full-dynamic lighting, high detail preset. Controls really hard to get use to.
The Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 30 fps Runs. Getting it to be playable can be a bit difficult with the controls and all.
The Forgotten City Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 30 fps Framerate is a bit inconsistent - probably worth just capping it to 30 or playing a bit with settings.
White Day: A Labyrinth Named School Proton 7.0-4
50 Hz / 60 Hz 50 fps / 60 fps Smooth sailing at pretty locked 60 fps (from what I have tried) and around 10 WAT usage. A bit surprising considering Denuvo.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown Proton 7.0-4
40 Hz 40 fps No issues what so ever. Although it might be worth setting the screen refresh to 40 and capping the game to that to extend battery life and make FPS consistent.
XCOM 2 Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 30 fps Starts without issues, but getting a decent performance all of the times is a pain in the ass. Recommendation for me is to scrap default Steam Input profile, switch to gamepad in game's settings and then switch Steam Input to default controller.

Arabian Nights Proton 7.0-4
x x Serious issues with controls. It's possible that it can be fixed.
Archimedean Dynasty Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 60 fps Loads of work is needed to get all 3 pages of controls to be mapped on Deck.
Asghan: The Dragon Slayer Proton 7.0-4
x x Can't install :(
Clive Barker's Jericho Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 60 fps No visible issues so far.
D.I.R.T.: Origin of the Species Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 60 fps Some freezes at times, but seems playable. Requires to some time to get controls right as well.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 60 fps No issues observed so far. And barely any time is needed to configure controls as well.
Syndicate (2012) Proton Experimental
60 Hz 60 fps Getting to a point where EA App runs as intended takes quite a bit of time.
Tunnel Rats Proton 7.0-4
60 Hz 60 fps For whatever reason, this game that is a massive pain in the ass to run on Windows has no problems on Deck. Only problem is you need to install PhysX legacy drivers manually. Getting controls to be playable is also a bit of challange.
