For the Steam Deck the top most played games for 2024 are:
  • Fallout 4
  • Palworld
  • Dave the Diver
  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • Hogwarts Legacy
  • Hades
  • Vampire Survivors
  • Grand Theft Auto V
  • Elden Ring
  • Baldur's Gate 3
  • Stardew Valley
  • Balatro

I really wouldn't expect performance hogs like Cyberpunk 2077 to be one of the most played games on steam deck but I guess popular games remain popular.

Well, I wouldn't expect any first-person game to be popular on any console, but hey ho, what do I know about the ways of the modern man. :ohwell:

Another thing: I just got my Deck LCD and it's freaking awesome! The only thing that keeps it from being perfect is a bit of backlight bleed on its left side. Although, my main PC monitor has some, too, so eh, whatever.

Yet another thing is the charging status LED. It's constantly on whenever the thing is plugged in, regardless of battery level. Is there a way to know whether it's fully charged or not without turning it on?

Unfortunately, the deck LCD doesn't have a multi-colored LED. The Deck OLED has it though.

I think most people don't care about fps like a lot of us here do.

The track pads are a game changer for fps games.

That's a shame. Is there at least a setting for the LED to switch off when it's fully charged? There's no point having it as a plug-in indicator.

My two TVs and phones don't have it as badly as my monitor and now the Deck. Not that it matters much, I don't fixate on it when playing a game anyway.

Interesting. I'll have a go, but I don't think my experience will be as good as it is with a mouse.

Odd that you guys have bleed. My Day 1 LCD has no bleed.

It will never be as good as a mouse but it can get close. Look up a track pad tuning guide on youtube or something.

Maybe Valve switched to a cheaper panel for later batches?
