Most Popular Steam Deck Games
This top 10 most-played Steam Deck games list shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, as each game listed has been a massive hit.Hogwarts Legacyis the best-selling new game of 2023so far and will potentially end the year on top.Vampire Survivorsis a viral indie hit, whileElden Ringis still wildly popular.Cyberpunk 2077may be surprising to some considering the game’s lackluster launch, but CD Projekt Red has released multiple updates to turn things around for its open world game, and the success of theEdgerunnersanime series has help reignite interest in the game.
It’s worth pointing out that all these games areSteam Deck Verified, except for one.Red Dead Redemption 2is not Steam Deck Verified at the time of this writing, meaning gamers may run into some performance hiccups when trying to play the open world epic on the device. WithRed Dead Redemption 2being one of the most-played Steam Deck games since the handheld’s launch last year, though, it may be worthwhile to get optimize the game and get the stamp of approval.
