Valve is quietly backtracking on the Steam Deck rating for Spider-Man 2 after it was controversially upgraded to Verified in February. More embarrassing is that the reason for this demotion is exactly what the community fed back within hours of the game being Verified.
While some of the best Steam Deck games don't necessarily run at a buttery smooth 60fps with high graphical settings, there is an expectation that Verified games don't require tinkering of any kind. When Spider-Man 2 was Verified following patch three, waves of player feedback suggested this was a mistake, and now it appears that Valve agrees.
