I don't know what "officially published" means, or how you would tell whether a publication is "official" or not. The truth is that about half of Shakespeare's plays were published at various times in his lifetime, the earliest being Titus Andronicus and Henry VI Part 2 in 1594. All of the histories except Henry VIII and King John, as well as the tragedies Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Othello and King Lear (and Titus as we've already noted), and the comedies Love's Labour's Lost, The Merry Wives of Windsor, Much Ado About Nothing, A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Merchant of Venice, as well as the oddball plays Pericles and Troilus and Cressida were all published in Shakespeare's lifetime in what is called Quarto form. After his death, all his plays (except Pericles and The Two Noble Kinsmen which didn't get published until 1634) were published in an omnibus volume in 1623 called the First Folio. Sometimes the different versions of the plays are quite different (e.g. the Quarto and Folio versions of Hamlet and King Lear) which causes debates over which one is better, since neither is "official".
