Another month is done and dusted, so here's your run over the most popular games on Steam Deck for April 2026. No real surprises for what's in the top.

It was of course going to be Slay the Spire 2 and Vampire Crawlers wasn't it? Two absolute smash-hit indie games that run great and have a reasonable price. For this month there's a few newly released games making the list including Vampire Crawlers, RACCOIN: Coin Pusher Roguelike, MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, PRAGMATA, REPLACED and Windrose.

Hopefully soon we'll see Valve able to get more Steam Decks shipped out into your hands, as it's still constantly out of stock in most places.

Here's the top 50 from Valve's data between April 2 - May 1.

I finally kicked the ARC Raiders habit! But, I've still had Overwatch hook its teeth right into me, with far too many hours in it recently than I care to admit as it runs so nicely on Linux platforms nowadays. The newer character Sierra is a lot of fun to jump around with. And, with family that play, it's a great time to play online with others.

The recently released TerraTech Legion is another great choice though, building a modular vehicle in it is so much fun to smash through the hordes.

Over to you in the comments - what have you been playing the most recently?

I've mostly been playing Bloons TD6 on the Deck recently. Being able to do co-op on that with the little one when we had car trouble on a long journey was an absolute sanity saver.

Shapez 2 for the past week since it got its 1.0 release. Before that I was playing Modulus. And in between an occasional run with Slay the Spire 2. On Steam Deck I played precisely nothing!

Nice to see that Graveyard Keeper managed to climb to the tops after the short "free to keep" discount on their announcement for the upcoming sequel

Love Vampire Crawlers, those cross-the-bridge & push-it-forward levels are devious.
