Top 20 Steam Deck games of September 2023, by hours played
Isn’t there a bot for that?
I see no such bot comment. Do you?
Not what i said. I mean it in an isnt there a bot that could do that task automatically . Like the summary bot.
Crazy that Binding of Isaac is still in there, it’s been years since the last release and it’s not really in the public consciousness the same way something like Vampire Survivors is. Fantastic game though, happy to see it continue to succeed
Edmund said there’s will be a normal online coop, finally.
Wait starfield works on SD? I thought it was too slow. Has there been a new patch?
I played like 80 hours on steam deck. I don’t think it’s as optimized as Todd claims (RDR2 is much older and looks much better), but it plays alright.
No mods or anything, just settings tweaks.
I did not know you could play with a controller on PC. Is thist a steam customization for the deck ? (When I plug my xbox controller nothing happens in control settings or anywhere)
I honestly couldn’t tell you how it works. Maybe check input settings in game? The game isn’t verified on deck so I wouldn’t think steam has done anything specific to make the controller work.
I found it playable but being completely honest, the graphic settings are the lowest and while it looks fine enough for things nearby… shooting at enemies more than a few meters away means aiming under their name. Due to dumb circumstances making my gaming pc unavailable, I’m currently playing it “on my Mac” through GeForce Now.
I really want to enjoy games like Fallout or GTA on the Deck but compared to mouse/keyboard it’s just really bad. I cannot understand how so many people like to play games like CoD or Battlefield on consoles.

I had no idea vampire survivor was such a hit. Feels like that would be a great handheld game.
It’s available on mobile apps stores I believe.
It runs fine in a browser for free as well.
Starfield ? How ?
It’s just for one month
But how can a steamdeck run starfield ?
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.
On low, but pretty well.
The benefit of a smaller screen is that you need less resolution to make it look half decent and with all the optimizing valve does with proton i imagine its quite playable. But the way graphics where implemented in star-field is shit and there are no excuses.

It looks a bit🥔 and requires some ini file tweaking, but I can get get playable FPS out of it, 30-ish for the most part
Good point
Average steam deck
Glad that Sea of Stars is so high on the list!
Glad to see I’m not the only with a spire habit that can’t be kicked.
I want to rebuy it since it’s such a perfect Steam Deck game, but it’s hard to give up all my progression on Xbox!
You could almost certainly stream it from your Xbox to the deck if you wanted to.
Can’t you copy the savegames?
I think only from PC Game Pass. I don’t have a Windows machine, although I guess I could dual boot the Steam Deck just to grab the files.
I’m contributing to #Stardew and #SlayTheSpire 👍
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?
Yes; until D3DMetal came out, I was using my Steam Deck as a gaming PC, in order to play games not ported to macOS.
Time to play spot the actual RPGs.
I’m going with 4
It’s weird how the fromsoft games are the only ones in all caps.
Famous from soft game DAVE THE DIVER
Oh, haha…I hadn’t noticed that it is also in caps.
Seems to be a Japanese thing. Several of em do that. Wish they wouldn’t.
Slay the spire is too good.
Bookmarking this, thanks for posting ! I’ll add some gems to my try list :)
