A fresh month is here so time to take a look at what has been popular over the last month on Steam Deck, and time for you to tell us what you've been playing.

Personally, I've been playing quite a lot of PEAK and it's not surprising to see it so high at number 5. It's a seriously fun time with a few friends and we've been putting lots hours into it and still haven't managed to get through a full run yet, mostly because we're all idiots. Someone always has a habit of wandering off, and we're determined to rescue them and then lots of stupid things happen.

If you haven't checked out PEAK yet, make sure you do. Excellent co-op chaos. Double thumbs up from me.

From Valve's official data for Jul 3, 2025 - Aug 1, 2025 here's what's been played the most cut down to the top 50. All links direct to Steam, along with their Steam Deck Verified rating.

They finally put Octopath Traveler (1 & 2) on sale, and I've had that on my list forever, so I picked that up and started it recently. Seems great! Interesting mechanic with all the different storylines. I can get my mobile rpg fix with this while I wait patiently on Quartet.

It's not surprising that the usual suspects are listed in the most played games on Steam Deck, with some new titles that'll come and go.
