Valve has outlined the requirements for developers to have their games classified as Steam Machine Verified. Games already verified for Steam Deck will automatically carry over, but new titles must maintain 30FPS at 1080p and be fully playable with a controller. While display resolution testing isn’t mandatory, the guidelines reflect Valve’s push to ensure a consistent gameplay experience on the upcoming console/PC hybrid, which promises six times the performance of the Steam Deck.

These new guidelines were shared during GDC 2026, highlighting Valve’s commitment to preparing games ahead of the Steam Machine launch. Developers following these standards will help ensure that gamers have a broad library of verified titles ready when the hardware finally hits the market.
