Valheim continues to get improvements and it's easily one of my favourite survival games, it's just fantastic with a couple of friends. This new update should make it even better.
Barotrauma, a game that's about exploring the ocean on Jupiter's moon Europa, where many horrors wait below the surface of the water.
I think it might be seriously time to play a whole lot more Volcanoids, with the new Ground Support update adding in special drones you can build and it looks awesome.
Subnautica, the hugely popular watery open-world survival adventure has a fresh update out that notes it's now Steam Deck Verified.
While no announcement from the developer has been made yet, Hunt: Showdown now has the Easy Anti-Cheat file needed and works on Steam Deck and Linux Desktop.
Want some more survival games? Humble's Survival Instinct Bundle has a few good picks in it and far cheaper than buying individually.
Gentlymad Studios and Assemble Entertainment recently released an upgrade for Endzone - A World Apart, helping out anyone playing it on Steam Deck.
Valheim developer Iron Gate AB has begun teasing the next biome update, and they're doing things a little bit differently with Ashlands.
After a pretty short testing period, the Valheim: Mistlands update is out now for everyone expanding the great survival game quite a lot.
The Long Dark: Tales from the Far Territory is the 12-month long expansion pass for The Long Dark and it's out now, along with the game now split into different parts.
Starting off a 12 month long cycle of updates, The Long Dark: Tales from the Far Territory is the first DLC for the survival game acting as an expansion pass. That, plus a bunch of free updates too.
Aquamarine has some great artwork but it seems the initial release didn't stick with a lot of people, which hopefully the new free Explorer's Edition upgrade will solve.
Mistlands is finally here! Well, sort-of. Valheim has a new public test available to opt-in on Steam with Mistlands, so you can try it before it's fully ready for everyone.
Seems that the survival game Valheim had quite an unfortunate bug for Linux players, which has now been solved.
The Long Dark: Tales from the Far Territory is the first paid expansion to the chilly survival game from Hinterland. It was announced just recently and a teaser trailer is up.
Vampire Survivors is a time-survival horde game that started something of a craze, with many games copying their blueprint and now Vampire Survivors 1.0 is out.
I recently wrote about how it's looking pretty unlikely that Rust will actually be supported on Steam Deck / Linux with Proton, and it's not looking any better right now.
Oh wow, I really need to check out Volcanoids again. The survival game that has you build and upgrade a big moving drill now has a lot more in it with some other big machinery.
If you don't hear from me much over the next week it's because I've discovered Brotato. Another in the list of wave-based horde survival games and it's honestly great.
Terraria: Labor of Love, another major update for the popular crafting and survival game is officially out now. There's a ridiculous amount (as usual) that's new, here's the biggest stuff to look out for.
