A new month is here, and something I haven't done recently is a look over what's been the most popular on Steam Deck. So here's what you've all been playing the most over the last month.

Most of the games here aren't exactly surprising, with a lot of them remaining in the top most played lists for months. Oblivion Remastered is an obvious new entry and not surprising to see people wanting to play it on Steam Deck. Although, the Verified status for Oblivion Remastered has caused many people to once again question how Valve have been testing, with the out of the box experience resulting in poor performance. If you've played it on Deck be sure to give your thoughts in the comments.

For April 2nd - May 1st, these were the 50 most played games on Steam Deck:

I got sucked in by Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. That game is really long, but I wouldn't dare to say that it is the best RPG I ever played. Well written companions, character development (especially mythic paths), interesting dialogues (and a lot of them) and catching story.

I'm finally near the end, but I assume it will be another 20-30 hours than I will get to actual end of the game.

A couple suggested additions to the list, if they aren't too hard:
1) Number of months game has been on the list
2) Change in position since prior month

I'm currently mostly playing on Deck (or ROG Ally with Bazzite), and my games are:

Fall Guys (playing the dailies for about an hour)
No Man's Sky (finished the relics expedition)
The Gunk (got it on sale)
World of Goo 2 (thanks 2D boy for the additional Steam key)

My PC is only used for gaming once a week or for VR... crazy how the Deck has changed my gaming habits. And I like it!
