    What does ‘playable’ mean? Because on ProtonDB a lot of games will gave a gold/platinum rating, but don’t work properly and have bugs or performance issues.

      I think Playable has a bit of a wider range. Verified means it can play optimally out of the box.

      Playable means that there may need to be some tweaking. Maybe performance issues, maybe text too small to read on the screen, maybe input issues that require a keyboard/mouse. It varies from game-to-game.

      I’ve played quite a few games that were “Playable” that I’ve had no issues with, personally. Others which I just couldn’t be bothered to get working correctly :P Most of the time there’s more information on each game and what these issues are.

        I wish they would change the wording on it, to me playable means I click the button and it works, if it needs tweaks and stuff it’s not playable.

        I wanna use my PC not spend time tweaking things and fixing problems lol
