If you’re a Steam Deck owner, you’ll be excited to know that Fanatical has just launched a bundle that is meant for those who own a handheld device. There are a total of 22 games in the bundle, and the best part is that all of them are Verified for the Steam Deck. On the flip side, any new ROG Ally X owners should also give it a try.
Anyway, for those who don’t know, ‘Verified‘ means that the games run smoothly on the Steam Deck out of the box. You don’t have to worry about making any tweaks to optimize performance, which you may have to do if the game is ‘Playable’ or not rated at all.
What does the Play on the Go bundle offer?
The Play on the Go bundle is a build-your-own bundle, meaning you can select the games you want, and the total price will depend on how many games you select. For instance, you can buy two games for $7.50 each, while between three and five games will cost you $7.33 each. After that, each game you add will cost $7.
Previously, the total value of all games combined was $623. But if you purchase them through the bundle, you can get all of them for $153.96, which is 75% less than the original price. In short, you’re saving over $465 through this bundle.

Which games are worth playing on your Steam Deck?
Since every single one of these games is verified, you don’t have to worry about poor compatibility or performance in any of them. However, you probably don’t want every single game on the list, so we picked out a couple of favorites.
We’d argue that the main highlight of this bundle is Ghostwire: Tokyo. This game throws you into a supernatural version of Tokyo that is now overrun by deadly spirits known as Yokai. Your character, on the other hand, is possessed by a spirit who acts as his partner throughout the game. Thanks to him, you also have several supernatural abilities that you can use in combat. Overall, your main goal is to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of citizens and save your family.
If you’re a fan of FPS games, then you should definitely give Deathloop a try. You play as Colt, an assassin stuck in an endless cycle where he’s tasked with eliminating eight targets before midnight. And if you fail, then the loop will reset. This will continue to happen until you’ve eliminated all eight of them. This may sound easy, but it isn’t. To successfully eliminate them, you’ll need to use the knowledge you gain from each attempt, study the map and weapons, and make sure to not repeat the same mistakes that you did before.
