Here's the Steam Deck most played for October 2023

By -

Another month is over and Valve has revealed what you've all been playing on Steam Deck for October 2023, so here's the most popular games. Sorted from highest to lowest, based on hours played, each is also a Steam link if you want to go and check them out.

I expect that with the AMD FSR 2.2 update for Baldur's Gate 3 it will stay pretty high over the next month, since it does look better on Steam Deck now. I'm still surprised at the amount of people doing Starfield on it though, because it really is rough on Steam Deck but then again people play a lot on Nintendo Switch where even first-party games have big issues without a care so…

What have you been playing lately?

I've been replaying some of my old games; the ones that made me switch to Linux. Most recently, Mark of the Ninja, and now Brütal Legend

Added Dave the Diver to my wishlist!

I've been playing Minecraft modpacks, DDNet, and Last Epoch though. I'll get back to BG3 after I finish LE.

Doom 2016 (current), Bioshock Infinite - Burial at sea part I & II and before that Dirt Showdown. All of them are awesome on the Steam Deck.

Edit: Oh! Forgot about my Batman Arkham Knight and Origin runs!

All I've played recently (apart from short games of Noita of course), is Inkbound. Absolutely amazing multiplayer roguelite from the creators of Monster Train. Highly recommended.

Inkbound is also 25% off until Saturday too.

That's a couple of really seriously entertaining games right there. I also been (besides those two) been playin' "7 Days to Die" again. One of my favorite zombie apocalypse games of all time.

I've been working my way through the Shadowrun games for the last little while - I'm just finishing up Hong Kong now. The (default) community controller layout makes it an excellent experience on the Deck.

I've modded Skyrim with fun stuff like the Precision mod that makes combat more accurate and impactful. When I finally got through modding it, I have been hooked to it!

I can’t afford a Deck (because mortgage) but I really wish I could. I’ve just started a play through Human Revolution > Mankind Divided > Deus Ex.
But after a week I’m only a couple hours into Human Revolution. If I had a deck I’d at least be able to play it more than 30 minutes at a time. Guess I’ll be done by 2052.

I just finished SNES Shadowrun too.

The Venus Next expansion for the digital version of Terraforming Mars (probably my favorite board game) just dropped yesterday, and since I'll be away from home the next two weeks for a conference/visiting family it'll probably get a bunch of playtime on my Deck.

I 100% agree with this. Not to mention how (pardon my language) s**tty Nintendo is as a company. Imo, they're worse than Apple.

Dave The Diver is great; I was a bit worried that I wouldn't like it, but I do like it, maybe a bit more than I should, given how much I played it recently! 😂
