Quake is now Steam Deck Verified

Bethesda Gives Legendary Classic 'Quake' the Green Light for Portable Gaming

In a move that marks a major milestone for gamers on-the-go, Valve Corporation has officially declared id Software's iconic 1996 shooter, Quake, as Steam Deck Verified. This new label of distinction signifies that the game meets the rigors of running smoothly and efficiently on the popular handheld gaming device.

As one of the pioneering first-person shooters, Quake remains a beloved title among gamers, with a dedicated fan base still eagerly anticipating its release on various platforms. The latest development now sees it join an impressive list of supported games on Steam Deck, which boasts thousands of titles verified for compatibility.

Interestingly, Valve has also designated Xbox ROG Ally as a Handheld Optimized device for Quake, highlighting the game's performance and stability on this particular hardware configuration. This expansion is significant as it paves the way for further gaming devices to be compatible with SteamOS in the future.

Furthermore, the announcement comes at an exciting time for Valve, which has been touting its upcoming Steam Machine release slated for early 2026. As such, gamers can expect increased emphasis on verification and compatibility across various platforms in the coming year, setting the stage for a more unified gaming experience across hardware manufacturers.
