  Worth noting that Steam doesn’t track playtime for non-Steam games. So this doesn’t include Minecraft, Retroarch, or anything purchased through Itch, GOG, or Epic.

  • Kissaki@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Do you think any of such games would be in the list?

    I’d imagine only a smaller subset of people even set up their Steam Deck for third party games.

    • PastaRhythm@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Emulation Station might, since a lot of people use it as a frontend for their emulators. Since ES runs in a separate window while you play, all the time spent playing emulated games would all add to ES’s total.

      I dunno, I feel like the Steam Deck’s core audience is “people who liked the Switch’s form factor but also like mods and third-party launchers.”

    No doubt Fortnite would be somewhere on this list. Minecraft too. Not sure what else would be a guarantee.

  The fact the SteamDeck can play all of these at decent graphics and FPS in their full fat PC version still blows my mind

  • Nima@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I honestly reach for it more than my Xbox or switch. it’s easy to pick up and put down. easy to charge. and stuff runs fine on it.

    It’s not for everybody, but I love my deck.

    • lobut@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I was skeptical at first and I finally gave in two weeks ago and it arrived last week.

      I love my Steam Deck, this seems dumb but I actually use it to stream my ps5 and more intensive PC games. It easier to move around and pick up and put down. I’ve started to play games I bought years ago. Finished Limbo and Inside and playing Bioshock Remastered.

    Ehh… Starfield chugs on my Steam Deck to the point where the slowdowns make it practically unplayable. >.<

    source

    • CarterDarter@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Very true, I should’ve thought more clearly about this specifics of some of these. Pretty sure it’s literally only up there because either people are trying to fix it and this constantly launching it / having it open makes it #2… or it’s just up there because it’s new and very popular

      Yeah I wouldn’t recommend Starfield on the Deck at this point. It’s a bit too unstable to be enjoyable.

  Reviews of starfield on steamdeck: probably not the best experience maybe stick to more powerful devices

  Average Steamdeck user: fuckin watch me, peasant.

  source

  • FineWolf@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I wonder if hours spent playing using Remote Play on the Deck counts towards the total.

    While I prefer Sunrise/Moonlight, playing Starfield using streaming off your main gaming PC is a pretty good experience!

    source

    • Lesrid@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Moonlight is unreasonably capable. I initially dismissed it when I had shoddy performance between a wireless desktop and the steam deck. Then I set up tailscale and tried it outside the home during a lunch break, it was impossibly smooth. I thought maybe it was something to do with the fiber at my work. So I tried it at a friend’s place in the next town over with the same ISP, impossibly smooth.

      Now I’m in the process of overhauling my home network to figure out why it’s better outside my home.

      Hmm, because that makes me wonder if they also count it as a play for the host machine.

      Also, how common is steamlink use? Would love to see how much it’s utilised on the deck/steam in general. I tried it myself but unless your host is connected over Ethernet it’s a bit on the slow side.

  • Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    My thoughts exactly.

    I absolutely love my Steam Deck. But playing even Cyberpunk on it made me run back to my PC.

    source

    • merthyr1831@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I wonder how many steamdecks are owned by people who dont have another option for a gaming device that supports games like Cyberpunk and Starfield.

      My lil bro is playing starfield on the steamdeck rn since he can’t play it on his main PC tbf.

  It’s awesome to see No Man’s Sky still up there. I gave up on it long ago but that team has been resiliant with the updates and just making it better for free.

    NMS works really well on Steam Deck! Low/med settings limited to 40 fps, getting 2 to 2.5 hrs battery life and the fan is barely spinning.

    source

    • piskertariot@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I am absolutely some of that NMS time. I just run it at default, and I get about an hour. Which is great, because after that I really should take a break.

    Yeh I played it for 4 or 5 hours upon release and then threw the disc in the garbage when gamestop wouldn’t give me a refund or take it as a trade in.

    Great to see all the updates but I still feel robbed and refuse to pick it up again because I’m stubborn.

    • Thassodar@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Crazy that Binding of Isaac is still in there, it’s been years since the last release and it’s not really in the public consciousness the same way something like Vampire Survivors is. Fantastic game though, happy to see it continue to succeed

  So proud of Skyrim, GTA-V and Fallout-4 holding strong decades after their release. They could be the most played games of the century

  • Freestylesno@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I think their age is also an advantage on the Deck. Since the requirements are lower they run better then new AAA games.

• float@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I really want to enjoy games like Fallout or GTA on the Deck but compared to mouse/keyboard it’s just really bad. I cannot understand how so many people like to play games like CoD or Battlefield on consoles.

    I usually use gamepad controls and try and shoehorn gyro as mouse input. Doesn’t always work but when it does it’s really decent for FPS all things considered.

    source
  • averyminya@beehaw.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I just had this horrific dream where my mouse input was functioning like a controller. I think it was PTSD from the days of aiming more with the characters movement than the joysticks.

    Still dominated though. Headshots ftw

    I actually went on vacation the day it released. I installed it on my deck to be able to play when at the hotel. I put 14 hours in starfield on my deck. It’s PLAYABLE but not really ENJOYABLE. You have to turn it down to almost the lowest setting to play it reliably.

    source
  • Stampela@startrek.website ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I found it playable but being completely honest, the graphic settings are the lowest and while it looks fine enough for things nearby… shooting at enemies more than a few meters away means aiming under their name. Due to dumb circumstances making my gaming pc unavailable, I’m currently playing it “on my Mac” through GeForce Now.

  Baldur’s Gate 3 is certainly a surprise. I tried it on my Steam Deck, and not only could I not figure out how to make the graphics look decent on my monitor, but I had a problem where the game would eventually stop accepting mouse input, forcing me to quit and relaunch. I didn’t get far until I switched to the macOS version once it came out.
