Valve and Steam Deck Feedback

As per a news story by NME, Valve has recently introduced a new feature on its handheld gaming machine, Steam Deck, which lets its users give their feedback on its verified gaming titles.

The firm behind Steam Deck, Valve, announced that it is including a new feedback option to the users of the handheld gaming device.

That said, those who are playing verified gaming titles on the Steam Deck might experience seeing a prompt that would be asking for their feedback after they finish a game on the platform.

The feedback that Valve is asking users of Steam Deck will then be used to improve the quality of the games found on the gaming device, as well as help its verification process furthermore.

Valve said in its announcement that it is collecting various data, such as crash reports, to further know the accuracy of its initial review process.

However, the gaming firm said that the ratings of gaming titles on Steam Deck should be based on the overall experience of the games.

To do so, these gaming titles should be parallel to the experience that both current and future players desire.

Valve went on to add that it wants to "identify the titles for which your experiences don't match your expectations."

Steam Deck Verified Titles

According to a recent report by Games Radar, there are already about 1000 gaming tiles on the Steam Deck that flaunts the "verified" badge.

These games have gone through the testing process of Valve alone, which should have made sure that these titles are free of bugs or any other annoying issues when it runs on the Steam Deck.

However, Valve has admitted that even though its testing process is already stringent, it still shows some "false negatives" and "false positives."

In instances wherein games fall under "false negatives," it will fail to get a "verified" badge even if it works fine on the Steam Deck.

On the other hand, those with "false positives" are games that made it to the magic list even if they should not be there.

Steam Deck Feedback

That's why Valve is now asking feedback from its Steam Deck users to counter these "false positives."

Those who will opt-in to give their feedback will be asked yes and no questions once they finish their gaming session.

It will then help Valve determine if a game still needs improvements, along with other initial data that the gaming firm has gathered themselves.
