Lately, Valve printed an inventory of the highest 100 most-played Steam Deck video games over the past 12 months. Digging into this a lot knowledge is enjoyable, and the total listing is each a snapshot of latest traits and a reminder that outdated favorites are a few of the hottest choices on Valve’s transportable PC.
On March 14, roughly two years after the Steam Deck’s launch, Valve launched its listing of the most-played video games on the best-selling system for the previous 12 months as a part of its ongoing Spring 2024 sale. In accordance with Valve, this listing of the 100 most-played video games on Steam Deck relies on every day energetic participant counts between March 2023 and March 2024. Curiously, Valve’s listing cares not a couple of recreation’s Steam Deck standing. That signifies that about 27 video games, or 27 % of the listing, are non-verified and even unsupported Steam Deck video games.
Trying by means of the total listing, a number of video games I anticipated to be on listed here are right here, and listed towards the highest. There are some actual surprises and head-scratchers too, although. For instance, Balatro—which simply got here out a number of weeks in the past—is within the high 30. One other latest launch, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor—an idle shooter spin-off of the FPS mining recreation Deep Rock Galactic—lands a number of spots beneath that at 39. As somebody who has put quantity of hours into each video games on Steam Deck, I can attest to them being good for the platform. (Funnily sufficient, the unique Deep Rock recreation can be on the listing, however solely barely at 91.)
One other fascinating entry on the listing is Starfield. Lots of people are enjoying Bethesda’s open-world area RPG on the Steam Deck, regardless that that’s a not-so-great expertise. In reality, Valve lists the sport as “Unsupported,” however that hasn’t stopped individuals from enjoying it and serving to the sport land at quantity 46.
Trying on the high of the listing, some older video games are dominating, together with GTA V, Elden Ring, and Stardew Valley. However the high submit goes to the large RPG and kissing simulator Baldur’s Gate 3. It pulled forward of Vampire Survivors, a recreation that many—myself included—really feel is such an ideal match for the Deck that Valve ought to simply pay the devs to have it pre-installed on the system. Whereas I choose Vampire Survivors, I completely perceive how a turn-based, narrative-heavy RPG could be a pleasant match for the Steam Deck. Generally you wish to smooch a demon girl in your sofa when you watch Netflix. No judgment.
