What is your favorite game to play on the #SteamDeck that released this year?

Even though it's in the Early Access stage, I like playing "No Rest For The Wicked" (Deck Verified)

superslappy.bsky.social•91 days ago

Fallen Aces is the only 2024 game I bought, so that's my pick. It doesn't hurt that it's really good too.

steamdeckhq.com•91 days ago

It's fantastic!

bergdusty.bsky.social•91 days ago

I don't play many games, but Hades II and Gourdlets are my top 2 for recent releases. The rest of my library is running a little behind

bergdusty.bsky.social•91 days ago

My real top 2 are NSR and Dredge
But those came out in 2023

craulian.bsky.social•89 days ago

My top picks for this year on the #SteamDeck are Hades II and Dave the Diver. Hades II nails it with its story and as a sequel to the original, while Dave the Diver is a perfect fit for handheld gaming.

doctorgarth.bsky.social•91 days ago

Rivals of Aether II

walterbl4ck.bsky.social•91 days ago

Balatro!
Technically not a current year game, but Red Dead Redemption 1's port that was released this year was great too.

thebarrylad.bsky.social•91 days ago

Balatro.

itsprada.bsky.social•91 days ago

Gori: Cuddly Carnage

theflyingwookiee.bsky.social•91 days ago

Helldivers 2. I’ve met some fantastic friends playing this game and it all started on the deck.

kevbell007.bsky.social•91 days ago

Did Ghost of Tsushima come out this year? If so, then that :)

scza.bsky.social•91 days ago

Wizardry - the Remake of the iconic RPG of the 80s...
Not verified for Steamdeck but running great!

professormilan.bsky.social•91 days ago

DQ3 remake is been great to play on the Deck. Not being graphically intense means I get more hours to grind lvls without having to charge

reddawn4u.bsky.social•91 days ago

Dream Tactics.

phoenixmatrix.bsky.social•91 days ago

Hades 2 by a landslide.

efrencecht.bsky.social•91 days ago

Prince of Persia the Lost Crown

Greatly enjoyed it. Didn't 100% it or play the DLC but the base game was fantastic and I played it exclusively on the #SteamDeck

deckfilter.bsky.social•91 days ago

Peglin ❤️

ryan-mclaughlin.ca•90 days ago

Haven't heard of this game, looks cool, thanks.

conker1031.bsky.social•91 days ago

For me personally, even though it only technically released this year, Kingdom Hearts has been running so incredibly on SteamDeck!!! It runs flawless and it’s an amazing handheld experience!!! I have fallen in love with these games!! I never got to play them when they first released!!

steamdeckhq.com•91 days ago

I would say it still counts due to it being a Steam release! They are amazing on Deck though, aren't they?

conker1031.bsky.social•91 days ago

They really are!!! Thanks for the reply also!! Love your content!!

steamdeckhq.com•91 days ago

Thank you so much! That means a lot to us.

chococheez.bsky.social•91 days ago

Another Crab’s Treasure was an excellent play when it came out! I NEED that NG+ update forreal.

meatymouse.bsky.social•91 days ago

Do we stick to Deck Verified/Great on Deck?

Tough choice.. probably Persona 3 Reload. Honorable mention to Caves of Qud. It’s going 1.0 this year (Dec 5th) after 9 years in early access.

steamdeckhq.com•91 days ago

Can be any game! Verified or not.

iamflip.bsky.social•91 days ago

My favorite Steam Deck game this year was certainly Like a Dragon 8: Infinite Wealth

yarden.bsky.social•91 days ago

I played SO much Baltro I just call my Steam Deck the Balatro machine now

lukenukem.bsky.social•91 days ago

Minishoot Adventures for sure

crazy3mofo.bsky.social•91 days ago

Released this year would be Songs of Conquest. Most played and overall fav for the year would be Slay the Spire though.

visionware.bsky.social•91 days ago

Conscript

lasthaus.bsky.social•91 days ago

Dragon Age - The Veilguard. Beat me, but I like it. And it runs well on SteamDeck.

bobriqz.bsky.social•90 days ago

Pepper Grinder @devolverdigital.com

suppe.bsky.social•91 days ago

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor

gauteweb.net•91 days ago

I mostly play games that are a few years old (cheaper and less HW intensive), but one of the games I've played the most this year, and definitely the most on Steam Deck is "The Rogue Prince of Persia".

thesugartits.bsky.social•91 days ago

Core keeper 1.0 released this year and I’ve sunk about 200hrs in so far!

scubaklown.bsky.social•91 days ago

Really enjoyed the Diablo expansion 😈

tastybark.bsky.social•91 days ago

Um right now... Um... Terranigma. It's old... I'm old.

thatitguyfromwork.bsky.social•91 days ago

Red Dead Redemption

rinma.bsky.social•91 days ago

Farming Simulator 25, for the moment it is nearly the only game that gets started on my deck 🚜

breezefall.bsky.social•91 days ago

Mouthwashing.

turkleblanc.bsky.social•91 days ago

Balatro, Manor Lords, Thronefall, Fields of Mistria

alexpratt.bsky.social•91 days ago

I might be a bit biased, but Temtem: Swarm plays great on the Deck!

deafplayer.draws.pics•91 days ago

Sonic X Shadow Generations

margot-does.bsky.social•91 days ago

The Cub was released Jan 2024, but if the DLC released in Nov 2024 counts then Blasphemous 2. :)

theredbaron426.bsky.social•91 days ago

Been playing Metaphor and SMTV recently and have had a good time! Living my best JRPG life 😂

lockdown2341.bsky.social•91 days ago

The "Operation Guns" and "Ode to Castlevania" DLCs for Vampire Survivors.

steamdeckhq.com•91 days ago

I mean...if Erdtree can be a GOTY...

silentknyght.bsky.social•91 days ago

Then I would say Vessel of Hatred. Diablo 4 just plays so well on SD with controller.

lockdown2341.bsky.social•91 days ago

Exactly.

mrkvm.bsky.social•91 days ago

A good chunk of my gaming this year was on Steam Deck, so it’s tough to pick one, but I’d say Balatro, Animal Well, and Metaphor: ReFantazio are the top three

joebutlerphd.bsky.social•90 days ago

Helldivers 2, exclusively played on Steam Deck.

felyna.org•91 days ago

God of War: Ragnarok
I don’t play many new games

steamdeckhq.com•91 days ago

I’d count this since it’s a new PC release.

neighborger.com•91 days ago

Halls of Torment, Balatro and Thronefall

advrik.bsky.social•91 days ago

For me, it was Visions of Mana. Been waiting for a mainline game in the series for over a decade, so finally getting it was a dream.

ynnus86.bsky.social•91 days ago

Drova - Forsaken Kin, Enshrouded, Satisfactory 1.0

nishquikpops.bsky.social•91 days ago

Persona 3 Reload and Metaphor ReFantazio. The p3r experience was much smoother though, both were played majority on the deck vs my desktop PC.

meatymouse.bsky.social•91 days ago

Can Metaphor lock to 40fps on the deck or is it lucky to do 30? I was gonna buy it if it’s on the Steam autumn or winter sale but if the performance is rough I’ll go with a physical copy on PS5.

steamdeckhq.com•91 days ago

40 in most areas, but 30 in every area. There's also a mod to make it run better and should hit at least 40 in all areas.

nishquikpops.bsky.social•91 days ago

With updates it's good at 40. I lock at 40 with a per game profile and add a TDP limit for battery. For long commutes and flights I lock at 30.

masterxcortez.bsky.social•91 days ago

😅 Sparking Zero! But in my defense I haven’t gotten many 2024 titles on PC this year

steamdeckhq.com•91 days ago

Fair, but still counts regardless!

hoppelgame.bsky.social•91 days ago

#1 is Miniami Lane by @dodoot.bsky.social

followed by Shapez 2 (not optimised yet) by @tobsprgames.bsky.social

steamdeckhq.com•91 days ago

Going to check out Miniami Lane right now!

hoppelgame.bsky.social•91 days ago

Also a great candidate for 2025 is Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. Right now the text is too small for the Steam Deck.

capingreen.bsky.social•91 days ago

Crow Country!

bonuscasus.bsky.social•91 days ago

Does Backyard Baseball 97 count lol? I've been playing it a lot since it released on Steam

stustap.bsky.social•91 days ago

Thank Goodness You're Here!

zexxar.bsky.social•91 days ago

Balatro Balatro Balatro and Balatro

xikocat.bsky.social•91 days ago

Zenless Zone Zero is by far the one I Spent the most time on.

Honorable mentions:
- Epic Mickey Rebrushed
- Balatro
