What this tells me is that Steam Deck users, as an aggregate mass, have fairly good taste in games.
Come on, don’t link to Twitter directly, use Nitter instead.
I originally did include nitter links in posts, but it went down and I didn’t bother using them again. I might include a nitter link in the body of future posts. I would prefer to keep official links as the main links.
Ok, that sucks
I am using libgen on Firefox nightly on my phone and it automatically redirects me.
I think you mean LibRedirect? I use it too, but many people don’t and it’s just better to have Piped or Nitter links.
Hoghwarts legacy is surprising
Played hours ON Steamdeck or is it Games played in general on Steamdeck, sorted by their complete hours played?
I don’t get why cyberpunk is consistently that high on the list. It barely runs playably on the deck.
Average FPS in the benchmarks I’m looking at seem to be 30-35, with 1% lows around 25. Sounds pretty standard for many console games. Especially handheld (switch Zelda games run at 30fps with huge dips, no?)
1% lows below 30 is what I call unplayable. Consistent 30 is my absolute minimum.
In fact, 1% lows below 30 would disqualify almost any other game from even being rated playable by valve. But having cyberpunk run on the steam deck when it doesn’t run on a PS4 is a good sales pitch, so it’s clear why they verified it.
I wonder how different the list would look if it wasn’t verified.

That’s fine for you to feel that way. I’m just saying that Tears of the Kingdom was Exceptionally well received, despite it running around 30fps with huge dips in performance during some gameplay. It is evident that some gamers (perhaps console/mobile gamers more so) are less sensitive to lower frame rates and dips in performance.

Their verification page seems to show what they are looking for. I don’t think mediocre frame rates stop a game from being verified.
I don’t believe Valve runs the verifications for “Steam Deck Compatibility”. Developers were given access to setting that for their store pages.
I wonder if remote play counts? I use it a lot when I’m at home and want to play more graphic intensive games while my wife watches tv.
I’d love to play it on the deck but the performance really is bad. Feels too stuttery imo.
I think Vampire Survivors should be considered a pack-in for the Steam Deck. Pre-install it on all of em. It’s the perfect game for the platform.
Maybe I’m just waxing nostalgic for the 90’s.
Mine are:
- Minecraft
- Viewfinder
- Superliminal
And that’s it… Those are the only games I’ve played in October on my steam Deck.
