Compatibility
Tested on a Steam Deck (1280×800); fps figures are on-device with the performance overlay enabled. Compatibility is improving rapidly. Expand a title for a representative capture and a technical summary.

Pokémon Violet — Playable (~25–36 fps)

Runs at approximately 30 fps (24–37) and is GPU-bound. Renders correctly, with occasional dips during shader compilation.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze — Playable (with a known artifact)
Known issue: at a high resolution-scale setting, scattered colored pixel-block artifacts appear over the scene (shown above) and the game-clock-tied logic runs slow when the GPU is overloaded. Playable at default settings. Some configurations require the title update to boot (see the Needs Game Update section).
