Coming full circle from its handheld gaming PC, including Forza Horizon 5, Yakuza 4 Remastered, and Persona 4 Golden.
It's worth noting that 'playable' is a distinct category compared to something that's fully 'verified' by Valve. It means the company recognises that a game ticks most boxes in order to run comfortably, but it might come with a few caveats or hiccups, such as a lack of touchscreen or native controller or other issues. For example, Sea of Thieves fell into the playable group when Proton 5.13-1 released back in October, 2020, but has only just received fixes for its voice chat and multiplayer bugs.
Valve has picked up the pace in recent months, however, hiring people to added 70 more just over a week later, and currently sits near the 200 mark (with more than 242 verified).
