Valve shared list with The 20 most played titles on Steam Decka portable console that, as many of our readers know, succeeded where Steam Machines failed and became one of the most popular and sought-after systems out there today.
Although it has a modest hardware configuration, which is normal since it is a portable console, he is capable of performing well even in demanding triple-A games thanks to the resolution of its screen (800p), which is quite well balanced in relation to the performance of its GPU. This is critical because a 1080p panel would be too much.
This is clear when we look at the list of the 20 most played titles on Steam Deck games of the caliber of Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2 or Elden Ring. All the titles that are on this list work well on Valve’s portable console, but we have to take into account that for the most demanding ones it is necessary to adjust the quality of the graphics and that it is advisable to reach for FSR 2 to improve the fluidity and a little more.
The 20 most played titles on Steam Deck
- Hogwarts heritage.
- Elden Ring.
- Stardew Valley.
- The surviving vampires.
- Octopath Traveler II.
- Red Dead Redemption 2.
- Grand Theft Auto V.
- Dead cells.
- Cyberpunk 2077.

- Skyrim: Special Edition.
- The Binding of Isaac.
- Monster Hunter Rise.
- Fallout 4.
- Persona 5 Royal.
- Kill the tower.
- No Man’s Sky.
- resident evil 4.

It’s strange that Resident Evil 4 is being played more than Resident Evil 4 Remake, but I think that will change in the coming weeks as the remake can be played without problems on Steam Deck and is able to offer quite good performance on 800p with medium low quality, textures on high (1GB) and FSR 2 activated in balanced mode.
We can configure it to a higher quality level and maintain acceptable FPS averages (in the 30 fps range), but we don’t recommend this because we end up finding stretches where the action is quite fast and Exceeding 40 FPS greatly improves the overall experience and responsiveness.
I remind you that at the time of writing this article 75% of the most popular games are compatible with Steam Deckanother clear example of the interest this console has generated since its launch.
