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?

Super Bomberman R 2 (Proton), of course.

Also Bail or Jail (Obakeidoro!) (Proton), Layers of Fear (2016) (Native Linux), and Placid Plastic Duck Simulator (Proton), which I played over Halloween.

And I've just started on Mia and the Dragon Princess (Proton) and, using RetroDECK, Bomberman Hero (N64).

Solo I've been playing Sable, The Long Dark & Salt 2. With some groups I've been playing Baldur's Gate 3, Icarus & Valheim.

Been a great year for gaming on Linux!

I absolutely hate Valheim -- but that's not my point -- my point is how cool would it be if I could give my 2 copies away to someone who might like it.

This was possible with the physical game world, and it should be a thing.

I have many games I am no longer interested in that I would love to give away or gift, it's lame how content is locked.

Every time I see these stats, I'm amazed to see Stardew Valley so high in the list. A 7 years old one-developer game being the 4th most played among some of the biggest recent productions is an incredible achievement !

It's absolutely deserved, but still, wow !

Besides the usual games I love (EVE, 7Days, Elite, The Front until they broke it), I reinstalled and re-fell in love with an ancient masterpiece.

Unreal Tournament 2004 + ECE, native, fully working in 4K is absolutely perfect. Almost 20 years later, it's still pure bliss to play.

But it only deepened my love/hate relationship with Epic. The makers of the greatest 3D engine ever, yet an awful company for everything else.

Oh, and icculus/Ryan is godlike, like the bots I got all my trophies against.

Back to Valheim and Xenonauts 2, with a bit of playtesting of Cyber Knights Flashpoint. Once again turn based games with the deck's trackpads is a wonderfull combination. Really can't see why people want other handhelds without them.

Didn't manage to finish No Man's Sky latest expedition, so it's on hold till the next.
