Top 20 games played on Steam Deck in the past month, sorted by playtime.
Worth noting that Steam doesn't track playtime for non-Steam games. So this doesn't include Minecraft, Retroarch, or anything purchased through Itch, GOG, or Epic.
No doubt Fortnite would be somewhere on this list. Minecraft too. Not sure what else would be a guarantee.
Do you think any of such games would be in the list?
I'd imagine only a smaller subset of people even set up their Steam Deck for third party games.
The fact the SteamDeck can play all of these at decent graphics and FPS in their full fat PC version still blows my mind
I honestly reach for it more than my Xbox or switch. it's easy to pick up and put down. easy to charge. and stuff runs fine on it.
It's not for everybody, but I love my deck.
I was skeptical at first and I finally gave in two weeks ago and it arrived last week.
I love my Steam Deck, this seems dumb but I actually use it to stream my ps5 and more intensive PC games. It easier to move around and pick up and put down. I've started to play games I bought years ago. Finished Limbo and Inside and playing Bioshock Remastered.
I've been playing Baldur's Gate 3 on my Steam Deck since release, it's been such a great experience I can not recommend it enough, I never thought I would be able to play such a great game confortably from my bed on a "handheld" (?).
Ehh... Starfield chugs on my Steam Deck to the point where the slowdowns make it practically unplayable. >.<

Thanks for that. Really hate images that are just data… :(
Reviews of starfield on steamdeck: probably not the best experience maybe stick to more powerful devices
Average Steamdeck user: fuckin watch me, peasant.
I wonder if hours spent playing using Remote Play on the Deck counts towards the total.
While I prefer Sunrise/Moonlight, playing Starfield using streaming off your main gaming PC is a pretty good experience!
Moonlight is unreasonably capable. I initially dismissed it when I had shoddy performance between a wireless desktop and the steam deck. Then I set up tailscale and tried it outside the home during a lunch break, it was impossibly smooth. I thought maybe it was something to do with the fiber at my work. So I tried it at a friend's place in the next town over with the same ISP, impossibly smooth.
Now I'm in the process of overhauling my home network to figure out why it's better outside my home.
Crazy that Binding of Isaac is still in there, it's been years since the last release and it's not really in the public consciousness the same way something like Vampire Survivors is. Fantastic game though, happy to see it continue to succeed
Probably because the new one is getting a lot of press and people go back to it
Edmund said there's will be a normal online coop, finally.
So proud of Skyrim, GTA-V and Fallout-4 holding strong decades after their release. They could be the most played games of the century
I think their age is also an advantage on the Deck. Since the requirements are lower they run better then new AAA games.
Wait starfield works on SD? I thought it was too slow. Has there been a new patch?
Mods + cryoutilities has it running pretty dang good!
I actually went on vacation the day it released. I installed it on my deck to be able to play when at the hotel. I put 14 hours in starfield on my deck. It's PLAYABLE but not really ENJOYABLE. You have to turn it down to almost the lowest setting to play it reliably.
I played like 80 hours on steam deck. I don't think it's as optimized as Todd claims (RDR2 is much older and looks much better), but it plays alright.
No mods or anything, just settings tweaks.
I had no idea vampire survivor was such a hit. Feels like that would be a great handheld game.
I really want to enjoy games like Fallout or GTA on the Deck but compared to mouse/keyboard it's just really bad. I cannot understand how so many people like to play games like CoD or Battlefield on consoles.
I think these would be better if they worked like ratings charts and showed relative changes since last month.
Glad that Sea of Stars is so high on the list!
I'm contributing to #Stardew and #SlayTheSpire 👍
Elden Ring is approaching 2 years in a few months and I can't believe it's still going this strong.
It's weird how the fromsoft games are the only ones in all caps.
Seems to be a Japanese thing. Several of em do that. Wish they wouldn't.
Glad to see I'm not the only with a spire habit that can't be kicked.
It's impressive to me that games made by small teams or solo artists are going toe to toe with games made by the entire Western hemisphere. Stardew Valley is being played more than RDR2?
