Valve has released its monthly report on the most played games on the Steam Deck, and unsurprisingly, Baldur’s Gate 3 still dominates the rankings.
The monthly rankings of the most played games on the Steam Deck are a fascinating insight into the world of video games. What are people playing on this strange Linux console that has quietly changed video gaming?
Well, it’s Baldur’s Gate 3, a game that, in our experience, still had major performance issues on the Steam Deck. Act 3 was full of bugs on the console, but these seem to have been mitigated by updates from AMD, Larian, or Valve.
Another surprising entry is Starfield. While the game might lose interest for some players, it’s strange that it managed to climb into the top three spots in the rankings. In terms of performance, the game runs barely mediocre on the Steam Deck, with frame rates below 30 FPS in dense areas.
Perhaps, as we discovered earlier in the year with the Resident Evil 4 remake, most gamers don’t really care about solid performance, they just want to play. As long as it’s playable, it seems like people will endure anything on the Steam Deck.
Most of the rest of the roster remains broadly the same as what we’ve seen over the past few months. Dave the Diver, Vampire Survivors and No Man’s Sky remain dominant despite their slippage in the rankings.
Another interesting point to note is Diablo 4, which was released on Steam just a few weeks ago. The game runs fantastically well with low quality textures, and offers a perfect way to loot on the go.
Monster Hunter: World received a huge update for the Steam Deck in recent weeks, which is why it has reappeared from the bottom of the leaderboard. It is now verified on the system. The major evolution of Monster Hunter titles is always fantastic to explore and delivers incredible visuals with classic Monster Hunter action.
