Valve is still on track to release their handheld console Steam Deck in February, and the first list of the verified games that can be played on it is showing up online in the Steam database (courtesy of u/Gyossaits)
Though this was not officially revealed by Valve, these games already have the "SteamDeckVerified" tag on their Steam app IDs. This means that the titles that are labeled with the tag are now games that will be available once the Steam Deck launches.
