PayPalAnother month is done and finished and what a month it was huh? February 2026 had some fun games arriving, so here's what was most popular on Steam Deck.
Some of the new releases that entered this month include Mewgenics, Diablo II: Resurrected – Infernal Edition, Cairn and Resident Evil Requiem.
Using Valve's own public data covering the period Jan 31 - Mar 1 here's what was most popular:

I've been hooked by the climbing game Cairn recently, which is equal parts relaxing zen as it is frustrating to get it right and not constantly fall on my ass. Aside from that also a fair bit of the latest Overwatch update which has been great and we also finally finished It Takes Two.

I played some shin megami tensei V earlier this month. Last week, my limited gaming time was spent in ets 2 ( the fact that I saw a gorgeous Scania R580 6*4 at work had a lot to do with that). And for the weekend, I played a game called "should I buy resident evil requiem ?"

On deck nothing. On desktop I've finished up my playthrough of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Amazon Luna. The game was good but the Luna experience was subpar. Mostly due to input lag. And after finishing it I ended my Amazon Prime subscription. That was my last subscription service to bite the dust!
More recently I've been playing Lego City Undercover. More fun than I expected. It's basically Lego GTA3. And the best thing: no need for more ram and my GPU isn't even spinning up its fans. 😀

on deck: nothing really. Just no time right now.
On desktop: I gave up on Ghostwire Tokyo about 2/3 or 3/4 through. AWESOME GAME! Absolutely loved it, but my god that end game just got REPETITIVE. Wow. I pretty much maxed out the combat and exploration skills, so there was nothing left to unlock there, and they had the same ol collectathon missions over and over again, just getting more tedious with their mechanics which makes them LESS fun. Overall I'd give it a solid 7.5/10 and I absolutely loved all the cool x-files side missions.
So now I moved on to Sector Unknown. A small indie crpg from a solo dev. I've had this one on my radar for a long time, and it just recently released out of EA! so far so good! I'm just at the beginning building my base up, but seems cool! I'm a sucker for a scifi crpg since there's so few of them.

Monster Hunter Wilds and Everspace 2 have been my poison this month, with a healthy majority of it streamed from GeForce Now while I was playing docked to my TV.
THAT SAID, both are actually playable on the Deck natively, they both just suffer from the same thing: specific environments will drop the frames down to the mid 20s (Planets for Everspace 2, Windward Plains for MHWilds), and the amount of upscaling required can sometimes render the game difficult to read; less of an issue with Wilds just because the monsters are as big as they are.
