Baldur's Gate 3 and other RPGs reign supreme on Steam Deck, Valve says

The Steam Deck community can't get enough of role-playing games, according to Valve, with Baldur's Gate 3 and more proving ever popular.

For the fourth month in a row, the most played game on the Steam Deck is none other than Baldur's Gate 3. However, it's not the only role-playing game to make the official top 20 from Valve, far from it, as the genre makes up just shy of half the list.

Even in its early access period, Steam Deck community simply can't get enough of similar games.

According to the official OnDeck RPGs made up 45% of the most played Steam Deck games in November 2023. In addition to the usual suspects, including The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the popularity of Diablo 4 grew enough to sur Elden Ring for the bronze, just behind Cyberpunk 2077 and BG3.

In of newcomers, both Coral Island and Risk of Rain Returns made their debut following their respective launches. While I've not had chance to play the former, I can confirm the latter is an equally great time on the Deck as it is a remaster of the original game.

Other notable changes from last month include the Starfield to have the 12-year staying power of Skyrim, that Xbox wishes it to have.
