1% lows below 30 is what I call unplayable. Consistent 30 is my absolute minimum.
That’s fine for you to feel that way. I’m just saying that Tears of the Kingdom was Exceptionally well received, despite it running around 30fps with huge dips in performance during some gameplay. It is evident that some gamers (perhaps console/mobile gamers more so) are less sensitive to lower frame rates and dips in performance.
In fact, 1% lows below 30 would disqualify almost any other game from even being rated playable by valve. But having cyberpunk run on the steam deck when it doesn’t run on a PS4 is a good sales pitch, so it’s clear why they verified it.
Their verification page seems to show what they are looking for. I don’t think mediocre frame rates stop a game from being verified.

I don’t believe Valve runs the verifications for “Steam Deck Compatibility”. Developers were given access to setting that for their store pages.
