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.

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.

I dunno, I feel like the Steam Deck’s core audience is “people who liked the Switch’s form factor but also like mods and third-party launchers.”

I think that’s what we see and may be misattributing of a small active subset that is very technical and invested.

It’s on the steam store. I’m sure many people buy and play, and don’t ever read or write on a community like this. They’re “invisible” here, but impact if not dominate the playtime ranking.

Emulation Station might, since a lot of people use it as a frontend for their emulators. Since ES runs in a separate window while you play, all the time spent playing emulated games would all add to ES’s total.

I plan to add the GOG version of Cyberpunk once I get an SSD.

No doubt Fortnite would be somewhere on this list. Minecraft too. Not sure what else would be a guarantee.

Fortnite can’t be played unless you’re running windows

Ah that’s a good point. I main Windows myself on Deck, due to Game Pass, so I forget about that side of things.

Edit: The amount of downvotes I got just for mentioning using Windows on Deck…
