Recently Valve revealed the top Steam Deck games overall for 2023, but they only just posted up what the most-played were just for December 2023 which we have now.
Baldur’s Gate 3.
Cyberpunk 2077.
DAVE THE DIVER.
Grand Theft Auto V.
Vampire Survivors.
ELDEN RING.
Stardew Valley.
Diablo IV.
Red Dead Redemption 2.
Hogwarts Legacy.
Monster Hunter: World.
Hades.
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition.
Coral Island.
Slay the Spire.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Lethal Company.
Fallout 4.
Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Stardew Valley stays on the list. I have it installed, but haven’t played it much on my deck (other than to test mods). I have met other people with Decks who mostly play SDV, and it is a classic.
Monster Hunter: World, played that. Played it with my eldest who also has a Steam Deck. Runs pretty well, but there’s a lot of text for smaller screens (and aging eyes).
Now Vampire Survivors, that game is great for the Steam Deck. Short, defined games. The sleep mode has never failed, and if it did, you are only loosing a ½ hour run at most.
Rarely. It has failed once for V:S for me from my recollection, and that was months ago. With the frequent SteamOS updates, it is likely that whatever rate edge case that caused it to lock up on wake has been fixed.
Thinking about it, I can’t remember sleep/wake failing in a month or two…

Does sleep mode on the Steam Deck fail?
