Valve has published a list of games that had the largest daily active audience on the Steam Deck between March 2023 and March 2024.
Baldur’s Gate 3
Top 10 most popular games on Steam Deck:
1. Baldur’s Gate 3;
2. Vampire Survivors;
3. Dave the Diver;
4. Hogwarts Legacy;
5. Elden Ring;
6. Palworld;
7. Cyberpunk 2077;
8. GTA V;
9. Stardew Valley;
10. Red Dead Redemption 2.
It is noteworthy that the top ten included not only the hits of 2023 and previous years, but also the relatively recently released Palworld. It was released on January 19, 2024. But this was to be expected, given the huge hype around the game at the start. Recall, according to the SteamDB service, a week after the release, Palworld reached a peak online on Steam of 2,101,867 people — this is the second result in the entire history of the site immediately after PUBG (3.2 million people). Now Palworld gathers more than 100 thousand simultaneous users on Steam every day, which, although less than 2 million, is still a big figure. It is unknown how many of them play on the Steam Deck.
