    Steam’s verified system is so unbelievably unreliable i cant believe people honestly take it seriously. 90% of “unsupported” games work perfectly and there are so many “verified” games that run like crap. It seems like big companies can just buy the verified status

    Both versions (original + Special Edition) were among the first games I installed on the Deck when I got it, and habe stayed installed for years since. I still go back and play one or the other a bit every couple months.

    The only issue I can remember is just dealing with the stupid launcher screen before you get into the actual title screen. I think I might have had to change the launch options for one of them to be able to access the graphics settings?

    Interestingly, the original version is still listed as Playable even though tbr Special Edition is Unsupported.

      Is there any platform on which we wouldn’t consider Skyrim to be “unsupported”?

        I’d say a pregnancy test, but Foone uploaded the intro onto one when he couldn’t get Doom working on it.

    Maybe they let someone who’s somehow never played Skyrim before test the game on the Deck for the first time. “Wow, this game CANNOT be running right. Why does it behave this way? It must be unsupported”

      If a game runs despite having an Unsupported tag it means it is due to a developer request, not an actual Valve report.
