Top 20 games played on Steam Deck in the January 2024, sorted by playtime.
Is the list really by playtime on the Steam Deck?
I see Diablo 4 is still on the list. I haven’t played since season 1. I bought it from blizzard but I’m on Linux now so I was thinking about getting it on steam. Is there any way to get around buying it again in the steam store? I imagine I’d still have to connect my old account.
Why do you need to rebuy it from steam? They don’t have a Linux version?
How does Hogwarts Legacy run on the Steam Deck? With a GTX 2060 and FX-8350 I am unable to get good frame rates, even on the lowest settings
You’re being bottlenecked by that CPU big time.
That FX-8350 is the problem.
It helps that it runs in 720p on the Deck, but it was still bad enough for me to refund it. Looks super blurry and low frame rate.
The second half of this article is specifically about the FX-8350 and Hogwarts Legacy performance in case you’re interested

Sorry guys that a inding of Isaac placement is definitely me. I decided to finally beat all the bosses with every character and probably spent the whole month playing that game to do so.
Vampire survivors just a silly little itch game I can get away with a quick game before my committments…
Here’s my list:
- The curse of monkey island
- Super meat boy
- VVVVVV
- You have to win the game
- Firewatch
Firewatch on your list was awesome. Really enjoyed it.
Never heard of the second last game.
V6 and Super meat boy are such a legendary games. Enjoy! For other platformers I’d suggest Owlboy, DuckTales, Hollow Knight, Celeste and Rogue legacies when you have time or haven’t played them yet.
I’ve been hearing about The Curse of Monkey Island. What’s it like?
A really good remaster. Let’s you toggle between that and the original view seamlessly. The game itself is a funny point and click puzzle game with a decent story
I’ve beaten every Monkey Island game except for Curse. Something about the art style is really off-putting for me, so I could never get into it. I might have to give it another shot, especially since I just finished Return to Monkey Island a couple weeks ago and have an itching for more.
I’m glad to see Dave the Diver up there. It’s been my comfort food for a few weeks now, and it’s easy to pick up and play for a few minutes at a time. Perfect for the Deck imo.
It really is a fantastic game. It’s simple while still being complex. It has a great progression and fun gameplay loop. None of my friends have heard of it, outside of me saying how great it is. Makes me happy to see it’s doing well.
I wonder how Warframe is on it. Not really an oldschool shooter, but still got me to use M+KB over a controller.
I’ve played something like 800 hours on the Nintendo switch, it was fine except for some of the lock puzzles which are way easier on mouse.
You gotta use motion controls though (well depending on the frame I guess)
motion controls? for what?
Runs great for me— it’s how I’ve been playing it
Edit: cross save went life so I’m playing with all the stuff I collected on the ps4
Stardew Valley is creeping up on being my most played Steam game of all time. Entirely on Deck. I am starting to loathe it a bit now though. I’m very late game, and it’s super grindy. It’s just so chill though, I have trouble putting it down. I love me some brain rattling difficult Souls games, but Stardew Valley just lets me completely zone out. I also get something close to seven hours of battery with it unlike anything demanding that kills it in 2 or 3.
PalWorld being number 2 is pretty impressive considering it only came out on the 19th. I suppose the huge number of players would make up for the relatively limited time.
Damn. I must play Brotato more. Not showing on the list
I’ve been playing Soulstone Survivors again, recently. They’ve added a lot of great stuff with updates since I last played. Lots of “Bullet Heaven” (?) games beyond Vampire Survivors to enjoy!
(Is that what we’re calling this genre, btw? It doesn’t make much sense, imho, so I hope we have a better name.)
It seems like Monster Hunter has slowly been rising up these lists!
My money is on more Steam Decks being sold in Japan, thus driving MH up in those lists.
I don’t know, if I had to guess it’s probably the return to world campaign.
With the announcement of the next monster hunter game, which is being made by the same team as world (so likely it’s going to be very similar to world) Capcom started advertising world again and that shot it up to daily peaks of ~160K concurrent players for a while.
Good call, I bet that’s likely it!
