Baldur’s Gate 3 is Steam Deck’s number one most-played game according to Valve’s latest top 100 list for its popular handheld. One might ask what do you do if you’re a game that’s already managed to win just about every gaming award there is, or top every list, well if you’re BG3, then you manage to top yet another list and likely end up winning another award at some point. Larian Studios has set the bar just about as high as it can go with its support and community engagement for Baldur’s Gate 3 and it seems that Steam Deck owners can’t get enough of the game, released in August 2023.
Steam has begun its Spring Sale with hundreds of discounts but has also published its “Top 100 games played on Steam Deck” list. While the list has many titles that desktop PC gamers are likely to be familiar with there are many others on it that exemplify the Steam Deck’s versatility as a mobile PC-based gaming device. A quick glance at the top 50 shows the diversity of tastes for Steam Deck owners.
