Valve has revealed the top ten most-played Steam Deck games in May, and they're unsurprisingly all verified. While the portable powerhouse is capable of running both big-budget and indie releases, it looks like most Deck owners are opting to play the latter for longer on the handheld.

In a Steam Deck update post, Valve reveals ten of the handheld's most played games alongside its progress ing games on the handheld. The storefront giant clarifies that four entries on the list were previously either classed as Uned or Playable, which suggests achieving Verified status boosted their popularity on the portable.

Valve's top Steam Deck games list is presented in alphabetical order, but the YouTube channel best indie games.

Here are the top ten most-played Steam Deck games in May:

  • Elden Ring
  • Vampire Survivors
  • Rogue Legacy 2
  • Stardew Valley
  • No Man's Sky
  • Slay the Spire
  • Hades
  • The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
  • The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
  • Aperature Desk Job

In addition to revealing the Steam Deck's most-played titles, Valve acknowledges the "incredible efforts developers are putting in" to get games verified. The company also says the effort is being put in to extend the experience across the entire Steam back catalogue, so some of the best PC games could make it onto the list in the coming months.

The Steam Deck continues to evolve as it makes its way into Steam Deck dock, as the accessory is now delayed indefinitely.
