Valve Reveals Most Played Game on Steam Deck Over the Last 12 Months
15.03.2024 - 00:55 / gamerant.com / Steve Michaels
Valve just released a list of the top 100 games played on the Steam Deck over the last 12 months and few will likely be surprised that Baldur's Gate 3 tops the list. Valve's handheld device launched back in 2022, promising fans a chance to play some of their favorite Steam titles while on the go. Now, the developer is offering a glimpse of which games have attracted the most attention on the Steam Deck over the last year, and Larian Studios' hit RPG Baldur's Gate 3 came in at number one.
Valve's handheld enjoyed a great reception two years ago, and last year certainly offered a lot for fans to enjoy. There was no shortage of great games for the Steam Deck in 2023, and there were plenty of reasons for PC gamers on the go to consider picking up the handheld for themselves. Now, thanks to data from Valve, gamers can enjoy a peak at what was most popular among Steam Deck owners.
As its annual Spring Steam Sale gets underway, Valve has revealed that Baldur's Gate 3 was the top game played on the Steam Deck over the last 12 months. The full list, which can be accessed from the front page of Steam, ranks games based on daily active player count and covers the last 12 months, starting from March 2023. Given that Baldur's Gate 3 was a massive hit with critics and fans last year, it shouldn't be surprising that it won the top spot on the list.
The list appears to feature a nice mix of recent hits, older classics, and even some charming indie titles. The top 10 includes the likes of Hogwarts Legacy and Elden Ring, both newer titles, along withGTA 5, and the pixelated RPG Dave the Diver. Hogwarts Legacy was the top-selling game of 2023, while Elden Ring has arguably set new standards for action RPGs, making it equally understandable that they got to join Baldur's Gate 3 on the list.
Since launching last year, Baldur's Gate 3 has earned a remarkable array of achievements. It's won awards from critics, praise from fans, and made Larian Studios a favorite developer for many gamers. Baldur's Gate 3 has regularly topped the Steam charts in terms of sales and daily player counts. Thus, it's to be expected that it would gain a place on the list of the top Steam Deck games from last year. Earning the top spot is one more achievement that the title can add to its name.
Baldur's Gate 3 is a Dungeons and Dragons inspired RPG developed and published by Larian Studios. Featuring both a single player and cooperative element, players create their character by selecting a starting class, take on quests, level up, and engage in turn-based combat using the D&D 5th edition rule set.
