Top 20 games played on Steam Deck in the past month, sorted by playtime.
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?
Slay the spire is too good.
People really play this many games in a month? Even when I played a lot I mostly focused on very few games.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is certainly a surprise. I tried it on my Steam Deck, and not only could I not figure out how to make the graphics look decent on my monitor, but I had a problem where the game would eventually stop accepting mouse input, forcing me to quit and relaunch. I didn’t get far until I switched to the macOS version once it came out.
How are people playing that game on a Steam Deck?
It works fine for me, with a few small settings tweaks. I’ve probably logged ~70 of my ~310 playtime hours playing on Deck.
Of course it’s mostly low settings, so it doesn’t look as beautiful as it does running on my desktop via a 3080 at 1440p… but it looks good enough and runs well enough to be enjoyable on a handheld. I don’t think I could enjoy an action-heavy game with the same performance, but for something turn-based that focuses more on the story, I’m having a blast.
That said, it sounds like that’s the crux: I’m playing it in a portable fashion, on the Deck’s screen directly, while it sounds like you’re playing on an external monitor, with keyboard+mouse?
Starfield ? How ?
Keep in mind, theres a giant community behind yhe steamdeck, and if a game allows mods(especially bethesdas), theres always a modder who has a modlist for tweaks specifically for the deck.
