14 Great Games To Play On The Steam Deck!

[@midasgamespace]

Thanks for watching! What are some great games you've played or want to play on the Steam Deck?

[@nhdarling2]

Gta 4

[@jpramirez4218]

Cod: World at War

[@teetumtoo8441]

Everhood was amazing on the deck I started and finished it in the same day

[@tankdome37]

The Blitz the league

[@juauke]

I've been playing a lot of modded Fallout 4, many Vampire Survivors like (Army of Ruin as of lately), played a bit of Days Gone and Spiderman's Remastered here and there, been messing with Kenshi and been looking to get into Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 when I am done with some of that backlog 😊

[@nhdarling2]

I agree with most of the games on this list as a must have. Also giving us details on the right settings for the games to run smoothly and provide plot and gameplay commentary is just top notch. Thank you

[@tankdome37]

[@angeloomm]

I'm glad the Yakuza saga is slowy getting to new people. Is a refreshing game not only gameplay-wise but also on its approach to story-telling. Great vid Midas!

[@RoadRage810]

I would also add Cyberpunk 2077, Dragon Quest 11, both of the Octopath Travelers, Stray and Fallen Order to the list as they all run fine on the deck with standard settings and are great games to play portable. Lately I have been bouncing back and forth between Octopath Traveler 2 and Hogwarts Legacy depending on my mood.

[@midasgamespace]

I played Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5 but I’m waiting for a sale on Steam to get it for the SD. I’ll check out those other games you mentioned and Hogwarts Legacy is such a good game to play!

[@aviatedviewssound4798]

@@midasgamespace cyberpunk is the most unoptimized game on the steam deck even with fsr on low quality it still struggle to hold 40fps, they're engine is a total mess.

[@DavidMoviez]

People that call Cyberpunk 2077 a good game are just sick, tho...

[@techwatch249]

Octopath has nes level graphics so it's obvious it'll run on the sd

Hey Midas, thanks for investing your time in such content! Been enjoying Steam Deck for slightly less than a month and am totally in love with the device! Simply a no-brainer for someone who has a large steam library and a backlog :) Glad that found this video, as your content format fits the best for its purpose! A brief game overview and feedback - check! A sample gameplay video on Deck - check! Suggested settings for smooth gameplay - check! Valuable tips and other platform references - check! Good diction and clear language - check (well perceived at up to x2 speed 🙂)! Thanks, got yourself a subscriber :) Looking forward to more such content 👍 If to look for some old gems that received the Deck support (the game has not yet been verified but works flawlessly at 60fps on max settings with low power consumption) - Severance: Blade of Darkness. The grandfather of all souls games that gameplay-wise holds up pretty great even now :)

[@abetheace40]

I'm seeing this channel for the first time Loving it

[@robnavarro9405]

Hey, really random. I see you have a different shell on your unit. But is that a case wrapped around your Deck? Thanks

[@khanlarjalayer1875]

Thanks for sharing this video, I was looking for this information for a while.

[@000585677]

Great video man! I really appreciate you laying out the particular settings used for each game - helps save me some headaches for sure. Also, playing Civ VI on the go is a game changer - it's such a perfect game for playing when the TV is on since it's totally turn-based.

[@nhdarling2]

Love your content bro this is the goto channel for the steam deck accessories and I credit you for me wanting to buy a steamdeck.

[@DaveManHA]

I gotta say this unit is built like a tank, the Steamdeck is cool too i guess

[@bpdcraft]

Did you make any changes to the Default Steam Input controls for any of these games? Just wondering like how easy the Civ game is to use as it looks like a mouse+keyboard games.

[@letsplaygames5071]

I think it still early to buy steam deck or AOKZOEK because they still need some updates . When steam deck starts hitting minimum 60fps on 1080p resolution then it is worthy of buying but playing on 30fps not a good idea on a device that costs between 600 and 700 dollars

[@bigkingcon8971]

Bro, good it’s not worth the crashing problems rn

[@brianmidnightg10]

These are all the games settled in the Steam Deck, it seems like All of my games will be added to the Steam Deck here. How do i know when I'm playing GTA 5 on the Steam Deck, i don't have a Steam Deck.

[@juleze.9795]

can anybody explain why he Always Turns vsync on? IT doesnt make Sense to me to Turn this on because the steamdeck has No Tearing without this Software sync because the Display is Always from a Hardware Standpoint sync with the built in GPU ... so i dont get what benefit IT delivers to Turn vsync on...

[@abbzky]

Hi mate, just a question based on experience while playing mad max, I am having pixelated graphics when on the map mode. do you had this encounter as well? what could be the problem if you might know? This is also the same with other games such as Days Gone and Shadow of Mordor. Thanks.

[@balazskorcsmar8351]

hey, can I play this games on airplane too? Cause you play in offline mode I goes but I don't know that on airplane can I play this "offline" games too. Other KZbin videos doesn't show me this games but if I can play with RDR2 I think I win. Thanks!

[@deathwish374]

Can u play bf 2042 on the steam deck? I wanna know if it's playable, fine even if it's stable 30.

[@keldon_champion]

I'm glad those games run good and all but holy crap what a bland list, spiderman, then spiderman again, basic list of open world RPGs, then assassin's creed for like 5 spots in a row (tell me you like assassin's creed with telling me or did Ubisoft sponsor this, lol) I was hoping for some diversity maybe some good Indy titles not the who's who list of open world games.

[@elsanto1506]

Not a fan of vsnyc

[@fpsbangladesh547]

I made a mistake. Steam deck is not available in Bangladesh. I somehow managed to buy one. But the shop owner forced me to buy the 64 GB variant. He was going to give me the 512 GB variant but he didn’t. He sold the 512 GB variant with a much higher price 🙁 900 USD. I offered him 850 USD but he sold it for 900 USD 🙁 Steam deck must be available in every country officially.

[@havocstrife151]

Wow way over price items. Steam deack is not available in my country too but the 64g variant are selling for about 430USD. So people just buy that and bought a bigger SSD or SD card or sometimes both. Much cheaper option than the 512g 728USD that is being sold here

[@MrDmitriyStar]

all games the same

[@looneyduck121]

Idk guys I think he might like assassins creed

[@romanshik]

One thing to note about the witcher 3 is that it recently got next gen update, which tanked the performance and the improvements are barely worth it on a small screen. Luckily in steam you can go to game properties -> betas and select "classic" version of the game. It runs at a mix of high and ultra settings (hairworks off) at a locked 40 FPS and is probably the most beautiful looking game on the deck.

[@Andrudaloski]

Hey i used this tip and youre correct. it is absolutely perfect . Thank you.

[@moshe5446]

rdr2 is the most beautiful looking game on deck

[@moshe5446]

[@SplendidCoffee0]

@@moshe5446 I’d say that distinction goes to MGSV Ground Zeroes in terms of aesthetics and performance.

[@projectill]

I can also recommend Batman Arkham series, Bioshock series, Half life series, Dead Cells, Metal Gear Solid 5 or Shadow of Mordor. So many good games just waiting for you on steam deck!

[@marciomaiajr]

Loved the recommendations. Mad Max is such a great game. It's really good to see it running at 60fps on the Steam Deck.

[@midasgamespace]

It’s definitely one of my favourites to play on the deck

[@jonservo]

Nice, I just ordered a steam deck and these are just the types of videos I need. The settings recommendations especially are appreciated 👍 Definitely subscribing

[@midasgamespace]

I’m glad to hear that! You’re gonna love it :)

[@theFastGuppy]

I think it's great you included CIV VI in your list. It easily has one of the highest played time in my library but I haven't tried it out on the deck yet. I will need to download it!

[@midasgamespace]

Thanks! It’s awesome on the deck too. You won’t be disappointed :)

[@kevina3813]

i think for future videos you should only have one entry per game franchise in the video. No need for 4 Assasins Creed games and 2 Spiderman games to be on the list, those slots could be dedicated to other games imo

[@xakira666x]

Capping a games frame rate to 30 fps will be better for most triple a games and really be the smoothest experience playing with a unstable fps vs a stable will generally feel better and provide the best experience plus you can boost the games graphics as well. It may not at first if you're used to higher frame rates but once a your eyes adjust you'll see a difference in the "feel".

[@jonservo]

Probably true, I have a switch and most games on it run at 30fps which seems fine. From what I’ve seen 40 hz is often recommended because it allows games to run with less battery but is still a noticeable improvement in smoothness to the eyes. I think there may also be an advantage to having the fps match the refresh rate of the screen as well, (I think it cuts down on screen tearing) though I’m less sure of that and I don’t know if the steam deck screen can be set lower than 40 hz. Though I agree that having a locked 30 fps would be better than 40 fps with stuttering frame drops

[@markevinlagsac3252]

40fps is the new 60

[@gamegoblin1]

All I want is the Gears of War collection playable on my deck...but unfortunately it's not

[@apersonontheinternet8006]

Yes it is. I have Xbox game pass loaded into Steam through the Edge browser and can remote play all of the GoW titles.

[@alfwaibel4773]

Just got RDR2 today from a Steam sale. It´s a monster in terms of disk space, but can´t wait to play it on my deck (still waiting for the additional MicroSD card, I ordered ;). Bot wow - what was this stutter on the RDR2 sequence in your vid? Brutal frame drop. I also to have Witcher III and all of the AC games on a separate MicroSD card bundled together. And of course, I do have CIV VI - this is a very comfy game.

[@sn0rbaard]

Brooo great vid that popped up in my recommendations. I got my Steam Deck this week and I have been jamming Mad Max on my SD all weekend and it is PERFECT for it. I also picked up RDR2 today on sale and I have pretty much the rest on my wishlist. Two other GREAT choices for the SD are Metal Gear Solid V and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Both run butter smooth at 60fps with excellent graphics and gameplay.

[@reefazahmed8200]

Hi! You have great content. I like your videos so much. May I have a suggestion? How can a person become a full time gamer if he/she doesn’t have enough money for livelihood? Like how to left job and become a gamer?

[@rDunfee]

Start gaming and producing content. Do not quit your job until you can afford to support yourself with the funds, have an emergency fund with at least 3 months of expenses and as soon as you start dipping into that fund it's time to either redo your (extremely tight) budget or get a new job

[@gheyvillan9638]

all of this i play on my 90$ joy+mobile using my own server moonlight with long lasting battery,lesser heat, high resolution and full 60 fps

[@reeseking1894]

you could of put all of the creed games in one chapter considering that the steam have over 10k games but you had to man puzzle games that make the head hurt . over all good video bro

[@shakerpopal1]

I already ordered my Steam deck tomorrow I'll get it 🎉🎉🎉 cheers, I have a question, since I am new to a steam deck are the games free? Or we should pay or subscribe ??

[@ArnelZapataJr]

Wait hold up, do I need to buy the game again on the Deck if I already bought it on my PC? Just ordered a Steam Deck today...

[@ArmelVFX]

Bro your video make me want to purchase it right now.😂😭

[@epicunicat20]

Just got mine the other day and a 512gb sd card filled with games. So far I've played brotato, NFS:heat, dome keeper, and a few other resource none intensive games. But I also have ghost recon wildlands, cyberpunk 2077, sniper ghost warrior (?), and a few other bigger more intense games I'll be trying after work. Everything so far, except NFS: heat runs great. I'll have to do some settings tuning for that game but I expect that it'll work out great in the end.

[@PixeIologist]

Great video glad I got recommended this I'm gonna watch your other vids at 8:30 or so though you say you get a stable 40 at the same time you're dropping frames lol. NBD but goes to show how different people are sensitive to different things. Imagine a world though where we can install a VRR capable screen. Now when you're getting 40 you're getting 40, and the small dips into the 30s are hardly noticable. I think that is going to be a game changer, even if it's only on external screens for the time being

[@diggky]

You’re jacked😂

[@TomsTech94]

Bro this is cool torn between this and s laptop with a laptop sure you can run higher but this is super easy to just grab and play and its cheaper and more demanding games could always be played through geforce now

[@robertwendal5894]

Right now on my Deck I have POE, Rocket league, Madden 23, Nexomon 2, Elden Ring, and Xcloud streaming. I strongly suggest Nexomon for those with a old school pokemon itch they need to scratch. My list is like yours, I'm not a single genre player and I'll play POE for a few days then take a break and go over to something else. But as a father of 4 my gaming time is limited to after 8pm so the deck suits that lifestyle at the end of the day.

I just have one very small nitpicky point. In the beginning you mention the Steamdeck is "like a PC"... Hahaha... I have docked it and used it to go onto desktop mode onto a multiple monitor setup with keyboard and mouse and used it to do my schoolwork, and my regular work. I just like using Linux... 😁

Hello and thank you for the video!! I have a question - which steam deck screen is better looking by your experience 512 gb one or 64/256gb?

[@midasgamespace]

I haven’t seen the other 2 but from what I’ve heard it’s not a big deal which one you go for if you’re basing your decision on screen type :)

[@sonyjliil3617]

652

[@jonservo]

I believe the actual screens on each model are the same, except for the glass over them so they should be similar. The only difference being that the anti glare glass does diffuse the light a bit so the screen is a tiny bit less defined. I ordered the 64gb version and will put a glass screen protector on it. With those I could go with either anti glare or normal glass depending on which I prefer

[@smudgy264]
