An Easier Way to Check the List of Games Available on the Steam Deck
A note was indicated for the second option, Playable, detailing that the games within this category would still need its users to "manually select a community controller configuration, needing to use the touchscreen to navigate a launcher, etc."
An easier way to check which games are playable on the Steam Deck, however, is to check the Steam Deck's Library itself instead of the website.
This method, however, could be disadvantageous to those still contemplating whether or not to purchase the Steam Deck and are still checking the list of games compatible. This because they do not having access to the Library within the device itself.
